if i'm going to "have" to subscribe to a bunch of network streaming services or newsletters can't somebody just figure out a way for us to bundle what we want into one place?

life is exhausting and atomized enough as it is

all we've all wanted for like 30 years is to pay a reasonable-->outrageous amount for the things we want, without all the shit we don't want (looking at you, ESPN), in an easily organized hub. But now i have 700 cable channels, six+ streaming services, and its a nightmare.

I shouldn't have to pay for ESPN, just as fans of ESPN shouldn't have to pay for my HGTV addiction.

And, while I'm on a rant, the Prime Video interface is straight up trash.

Prime Video interface is like everything that's absolutely terrible about the general Amazon interface (lots in there, good fucking luck finding it) but OMFG can you PLEASE at least fix the fast-forwading fuctionality.

Like if you're on the Prime Video team, with all the fucking money and dev talent in the world at your disposal, how do you fucking sleep at night knowing the utter *shite* you serve up to millions of users?

I'm not a techie, but I know shameful product when I see it.

I have issues with Netflix but what it gets right:
-intro skipping functionality
-seamless FF/rewind/skipping
-way better recommendation engine
- (took too long but) family partitioning within profiles/recommendation engine
-gorgeous overall interface

Amazon, none of that.
