This. Just do it, mang. Greedy companies pretty much leave you no other choice when they restrict their products to consumers.

Isn't Amazon technically competing with Disney+ through their prime service streaming?

prime video (and even apple tv+) is marketed more as a loyalty program than a netflix-type competitor, so they're cool with aggregating all the streaming services as long as ppl are buying their products and into their whole ecosystem

Are there any risks or downsides to jailbreaking?

In nearly all cases it voids the warranty, and in many cases you run the (very small) risk of bricking your device, but that's about it.

So with jailbreaking how does that make D+ available?

Is it just as simple as now I can get the Google Play Store on the Firestick and the app is available on there and will just be added to all my other streaming apps on the home screen?

When I bothered with jailbreaking mine it basically seemed to just pull movies from streaming sites without all the porn popups. I doubt you can hack a free subscription that way. The reason I quit using mine is that I'm too lazy to update to the last version of that app

Amazon is always slow in getting new services because they block the regular app store. It takes a while to get it updated and they release it on their own. It will be there eventually.

Oh I don't want anything for free, I just want to be able to access the app.

Why would anyone get an Amazon device?
They're essentially just Amazon ad machines.

You can argue that about any streaming service. Yet if amazon removed all competition from their devices that would cause huge problems.
