Amazon Prime Video 📺offers a fantastic selection of content, especially for indie, art-house, and European films 🎬and series—an area where it certainly stands out compared to other streaming platforms. However, the recent price hikes are excessive, and the constant additional charges for add-ons are becoming downright absurd.

▶️Another major concern is Amazon’s handling of temporary free subscriptions.

❗️‼️They make it deceptively easy to sign up but unnecessarily and cunningly difficult to locate, manage, or cancel these subscriptions.

❗️‼️Navigating their platform to even find your active subscriptions or ensure you’re unsubscribed is frustratingly complex and surreptitiously disorienting and these “free” trials too often slip by unnoticed until they hit your bank account.

▶️This approach feels sneaky, underhanded, and misleading—using tactics that seem almost designed to take advantage of customers’ forgetfulness.
Such practices aren’t in good faith and seriously need to be addressed!
It feels quite devious!
And I used to love and praise this platform, even to my students - and I teach cinema studies and all things film.
