Prime just recently introduced channels, which dramatically increased the amount of content available, but each is $3.99. I personally love this because I’d rather have the option to subscribe to Smithsonian content or MGMs back catalog using the same streaming service I already use, rather than paying to use 10 different or getting stuck using the small list of (mostly old, TV movie, or B movie) content on just prime or Netflix.
So this is a feature, not a bug. Mostly because I’ve accepted how backwards the movie industry is going to be with copyright. But still having the option is the less evil.
That said, Maybe the UI can make this more obvious?
First time surprised me. I can see it being useful when you have the channel. Or as a separate tab when you want to possible add a channel.
It kinda taints the other content. You ask internal.. Is it really available without subscribing? to channels you have access to. Then you finally click and they have season 1 and 3 and 5 of some show. Terrible UI. Feels like you get so much less than you do.
With netflix it feels like you could just fall into a series immediately.
