    Call me crazy @PrimeVideo but when I search for a movie with my Prime subscription, I expect ONLY MOVIES AVAIL TO PRIME MEMBERS! Not other apps or streaming services. Your search algs are terrible & time consuming.

    @amazon @PrimeVideo @AmazonHelp please do something about the Prime app for LG Smart TVs! On the rare occasion there is something worth watching, it would be good to not be met with “no internet connection” (when Netflix, Youtube etc work fine) & “something went wrong” messages!

I have a really deplorable situation, it means he died humanely, it's not my fault to be poor poor careless, it's not my fault that life doesn't treat everyone equally, please help me sister, I'm begging you

    @primevideo and @NVIDIASHIELD: no error code, the Shield reboots. Presentation timestamps maybe? leading to buffer overflow?

    @PrimeVideoIN @PrimeVideo How can I check if my streaming is in HDR ? In streaming quality it says 1080p HD (on best streaming setting). Can you let me know if my device is supported for HDR content? (Samsung S20 FE 5G)

    @leafdebrief @PrimeVideo Now I’m onto getting a tooth prepped for a 👑! After that stopping by @xBeast1Modex to pick up some of his homegrown he was so kind to offer 🤩. Then I gotta go to the bank to make a deposit so I can buy more stonks. The days off are always just as busy as the work days lol

    So apparently @amazonIN takes 6 different customer care executives to understand a simple issue of order return. The pandemic is hitting hard on everyone, isn't it? Or maybe we are still glued to @PrimeVideo and watching Family Man 2. Which one is it?

    @Anjan_das_ @amazonIN @PrimeVideo Seems like "we understand your problem" has become the daily white lie that they speak.

    @PrimeVideo @PrimeVideoIN @AmazonStudios Amazon Prime Video lacks in promotion. Many good movies and series are unnoticed in prime video because of this. Amazon should work on promotion. #Amazon #zerozerozero #Blowthemandown

    @RobertPraetzler @derspiegel Having watched ‚tank overhaul‘ on @PrimeVideo I wonder how owning a tank that is not operational & a collector‘s item is such a huge issue? The moral side of this or glorifying the ideology would be different but that’s not what the German courts seem to worry about here...😳

    Amazon @PrimeVideo Categories megamenu is the worst one I've had to contend with. I never hit it on purpose and it takes over the whole window and sits there. I'm both glad and sad they can't hear what it makes me say every time. It's like the old Photoshop accidental launch.#ux

    Hi @primevideo and @NVIDIASHIELD, could you work together to fix the Shield crash while streaming. Symptoms: video freeze, audio buzz for 2 secs then shield reset. Seen with Skylines and Undergound RailRoad.

    Ray Hall's outfits in #PanicAMAZON are the WORST. But please renew it for season 2 @PrimeVideo! #PanicOnPrime @AmazonStudios

    Did anyone else watch #Breach on @PrimeVideo? What a dumpster fire. The visual effects were of such low quality, I found myself wondering if they blew their budget on getting Bruce Willis to star. The script was drab, direction seemingly absent, and the action redundant. Zzz.

    @hulu @netflix @PrimeVideo (and the rest) I NEED YOU TO WORK ON YOUR SOUND DESIGN. I am so SICK of watching a show or a movie where you can barely hear someone talk, so you turn up the volume, then a LOUD *** NOISE to follow. Why do you do this?! It's not dramatic! It's ANNOYING!
