Is Amazon Prime Video nearly worthless?

Second Mozart in the Jungle, may be ripe for a rewatch. Good Omens was great television, too.

True, netflix has gown downhill. I wouldn't pay for that these days. They might need to bring back Blockbuster Video, like an online version or something.

I hate "owning" what I can't physically possess. When you "own" digital content that is stored off site, you are always one step away from losing it all entirely. They can change policies. They can sell the division to a different parent company who no longer abides by the old rules. I haven't seen such problem yet, but I am deeply concerned about that happening.

The only digital content I "buy" are kindle ebooks, and I know fully well the entire collection that I "own" can be wiped out in an instant. I am willing to live with that for books. Not so much for my movie collection. I re-watch movies. I rarely do the work to re-read books.

I have amazon prime mostly for buying stuff. But the Amazon Prime movies are not always a good find depending on my mood. I almost always end up either renting a new movie not in Prime yet or I watch old stuff from Roku that has commercials.
