It wasn’t always that way. When it started, Amazon had some neat ideas like having customers vote on pilot TV shows to indicate which ones should go to series. A lot of the pilots they didn’t pick up were pretty good.
They also bought the rights to the Expanse novels and did a great job making them into different TV seasons. They even took chances on some interesting shows like “The Peripheral” and “Moonhaven”.
The enshittification of Amazon Prime likely has a lot to do with paying for Bezos’ big budget pet projects like “wheel of time” “and Lord of the rings” sucking the funding out of other projects. I expect with the Bond franchise purchase, this will just continue to be a problem. Even with as much money as Amazon, there’s only so much you can throw around.
Did anyone bother to tell Timothy that Amazon paid $1 billion for it? That can be awfully persuasive.
Reminds me of “Keep your government hands off my Medicare."
These people vote hard R and then act shocked when their benefits get cut.

I know people who voted for Trump because they thought these tax cuts would apply to them. With them not being super rich, it’s never going to happen. Can’t convince them otherwise though.
Do you have citations for “Apple has rolled over for law enforcement in the past”? I’m wondering if this is country-specific.
Fortunately you can still back up your devices locally, and store your photos locally, and these backups can be encrypted.
NYT and Washington post are just garbage now. It’s sad.
He likely has financial problems. This is a grift to pour money into his pockets.
Not really caving. The alternative was to provide the government an encryption backdoor. That’s what the UK feds asked for.
