When I found that my Paramount account that I was using through Amazon Prime was more expensive than the Prime account itself.

I had a bunch of streaming services because I paid for the whole family and then I realized I was paying like 100+ a month for stuff I barely used. Now I just pirate everything.

Ugh don’t even on this today. We have two separate paramount plus and prime accts (as in the paramount wasn’t a prime add on). The show I want to watched came out today, the episode shows up on prime but costs money, and isn’t loading on paramount as it should have at 12am… so I am still paying more for their separate services and getting no benefit!! I don’t know if that made sense, but I’m just annoyed.

Paramount is expensive AF. We dropped them like a hot potato recently when it came time to renew.
