Amazon Prime Video is even worse, on Linux they only serve 480p. Any pirated file is much better quality.

It's unwatchable. I'd cancel Prime because of it, if I didn't want the shipping. What is the real purpose of them limiting the stream? It can't be because of pirating. The movies and shows show up on the torrent sites BEFORE they even hit Amazon Prime. So who's going to "Record" it there? They are only hurting their customers.
Exactly! As it is unwatchable it makes 0 sense to pay for the service. It is pirate or just do not watch it.
Lmao at paying for 2006-youtube quality video.
Still better than using some other OS.
You can use torrent clients under Linux though.
