Not only does it have the much bigger library, but you can actually see the ratings of titles before you click them, the descriptions are more in-depth, the filtering options are more precise...

Oh, and you can actually remove titles from your "continue watching" panel by x'ing them off whereas for Netflix you have to actually load up the video and skip to the end to get rid of them.

IMO Netflix needs to step up their game if they're going to keep raising their prices.

Downside is how annoying it is that each season is an individual thing.

Netflix is starting to lose its shine. I mean when Hulu starts beating you, and Amazon, sheeesh.

I just hate that you have to use Fx to watch YT through the Fire Stick (its memory gets full making watching YT videos a pain in the ass), and Amazon's interface is a little wonky at times. But I do think it's better than Netflix in many ways.

I wish Amazon had that skip intro button that Netflix has.

Nah, the Amazon library is lower quality than Netflix imo. Sometimes it has some good recent movies but I spend 90% of my streaming time on Netflix. They've been pulling in a lot of classics lately, a big chunk of Scorsese's filmography and the TV selection is better.

plus I don't like how Amazon splits shows into seasons. It's weird. Why make me search for Roseanne season 3 after finishing season 2? Just play the next episode please.

My biggest dealbreaker with Amazon Video is that there's no profile options, so if you share an account with family/friends all your stuff is lumped together.

I installed YouTube back on it. I no longer use Firefox anymore.

You won't be able to get it from Amazon store, you'll have to get it else where.

I don't have time for that! Or maybe I do...

They are, unless you haven't seen a lot of the classics. But once you have, there ain't much left.

What really happened is that Netflix has gone down hill to a point where Amazon Video is actually an attractive option now.

I'm hearing that more and more often now-a-days. I dare say I might agree.

Hulu has always been better than Netflix. Only thing Netflix excels at is their originals. Just resub when they get a new batch you want to watch and then cancel it

Yeah I think that's what they want. I think they envision Netflix as place to go to to just watch Netflix productions.
And man, they lay on heavy with stand up comedy specials. I bet anyone could get a gig doing Netflix stand up.

It's terrible on my tv and ps4. It's slightly less terrible on android, but in every instance it's clunky to find multiple seasons of things, browse in general or easily filter out things that aren't included in Prime.

Amazon would probably be killing Netflix if they had better navigation. Their movies are pretty consistently excellent, or at the very least, impressively crafted. Netflix only knows how to make TV shows, as their movies are complete and utter bile like 95% of the time.

Yeah dude fuck the stand ups

People want Scrubs, HIMYM, The League, Archer, South Park, all that binge-able shit that they can use as background noise, not an hour of amy shumer's vagina
