How stupid is Amazon?
They just gave me a free 30-day Prime taster. I logged in to the Prime app and decided to try the Reacher series. Clicked the first episode and was immediately presented with an advert.
Within 10 seconds, I’d exited Prime and will not go back.
Cancelled.

Never ceases to amaze me how intellectually selective religious people can be.
