The pernicious greed of Amazon
I pay £8-99 per month for Prime plus £2-99 for ad free. Increasingly I'm starting a serial that is included with Prime, only to find that at least one of the episodes has to be paid for, usually through an additional subscription. The film Little Dorrit, for example, is in two parts. Part one is free to watch with a Prime subscription, but part two has to be purchased at £6-99 or rented at £2-49 (a so-called special offer!). Similarly, Halifax Retribution is free to watch with a Prime subscription until episode 7 (out of 10). This can only be watched by adding an Acorn subscription at £4-99. The episodes are not self-contained. This is a serial; without this episode, watching the rest is pointless but it's not evident that this episode has to be paid for until you're already watching the series and well into it. This amounts to tricking customers into paying extra. I won't be continuing to subscribe to Amazon Prime. Excessive greed loses the company customers.
