    @jimbomorrison @netflix @PrimeVideo Ahh, I'm sorry, I looked it up. The Quality problems was with the HomePod mini which was deemed too expensive for what it delivers by most reviews. The big HomePod actually had overwhelmingly positive reviews. I wonder how they did that, Beats was known for heavy bass not quality

  • FartsUSA Coup R’anch Doritos (@FartsUSA) reported

    @PrimeVideo @AmazonHelp The audio track on for My Little Pony: Equestria Girls needs a new master from the studio. The audio is either out of phase or has a downmix issue. It’s English stereo only so I’m assuming out of phase. It sounds bad. Audio bad on every device tested.

  • arbutuspointBC Zev Ben Meir זאב בן מאייר (@arbutuspointBC) reported

    @RachelMiniK @PrimeVideo @hbomax One of two reasons most likely. Unconscious bias against Jews or Jews who work there being uncomfortable highlighting Jewish stuff

  • le_friwi Greg 🇳🇿BZH🇲🇫 (@le_friwi) reported

    Have being trying for 4 days to pay my @PrimeVideo subscription, to no avail. I have money in my account, confirmed by my tutrice, so not sure what the issue is. 'Tis a bit of a pain... #PrimeVideo #Amazon

  • Redleg1_101 Toby Teddy and Abe's Human (@Redleg1_101) reported

    @PrimeVideo You killed any chance of me watching this when you aired the ad with the woman complaining that being a teenage girl as more traumatic than being in a plane crash and stranded on an deserted island #nothanks

  • CHADMURPHY73 CHAD MURPHY (@CHADMURPHY73) reported

    @PrimeVideo @TheRock I have a friend who use to work for the rock

  • neil_roberts_ Neil (@neil_roberts_) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Please @PrimeVideo the commentators for the Madrid Masters are so awful I can’t cope 🥹🔫

  • Mastacheata Benedikt 🌻 (@Mastacheata) reported

    @jimbomorrison @netflix @PrimeVideo But that's only a tiny fraction of Amazon's overall revenue and they have about the worst UX you can think of for a subscription service. (Prime Video is never really sure if it wants to be a subscription service or a video retailer or a marketplace for 3rd party subscriptions)

  • 1CryptoRyder Unacceptable Red Pillar (@1CryptoRyder) reported

    @PrimeVideo @TheRock Terrible photo of him, his head looks TINY compared to his body. Not flattering.

  • madre_62 mary martin (@madre_62) reported

    @PrimeVideo @Camila_Cabello Looks awful

  • bloudraak Werner Strydom (@bloudraak) reported

    @AmazonHelp On AppleTV, I did the following: 1) Reboot AppleTV 2) Deleted and Reinstalled PrimeVideo App 3) Changed the DNS settings to be IPv4 only I’m not going to reset AppleTV as some suggest since Disney+ and other apps work fine and took time to set up.

  • jimbomorrison Jim  (@jimbomorrison) reported

    @Mastacheata @netflix @PrimeVideo Hmm. Re CSAM. First, not sure they've turned the CSAM stuff on yet, second on balance I'm accepting of it, third there's nothing to suggest all providers won't do the same (if they don't already). Where else is their privacy an issue?

  • fruityhealey nessa (@fruityhealey) reported

    @PrimeVideo @thewildsonprime damage control would work better with new pictures btw

  • jimbomorrison Jim  (@jimbomorrison) reported

    @Mastacheata @netflix @PrimeVideo I don't *like* Apple, particularly.. but there's no competition on quality+privacy+integration. I wouldn't touch an Amazon or Google product with a barge-poll.

  • RichardSimpkin2 Richard Simpkins (@RichardSimpkin2) reported

    @PrimeVideo Why are the videos on Amazon Prime not loading? I keep getting an error message!

  • eggymcfc96 eggymcfc96 (@eggymcfc96) reported

    @PrimeVideo I have a problem who can help?

  • Kyberian Bonnie Patterson (@Kyberian) reported

    @RubiconFilmsUK @PrimeVideo The very SECOND I knock off work, I am buying and watching this. More George Popov just cannot be wrong.

  • IamPravallika Pravallika Narra (@IamPravallika) reported

    @SagarPrabhas141 @PrimeVideo Worst

  • Bill_McNally BILL MCNALLY (@Bill_McNally) reported

    @PrimeVideo Terrible movie. Garbage.

  • CarolTucker5 Carol Tucker (@CarolTucker5) reported

    @PrimeVideo @Camila_Cabello She looks awful. Sorry

  • AusMossy John Moss (Mossy) (@AusMossy) reported

    You have to wonder about the incompetence at @amazon . I have contacted @AmazonAustralia and @PrimeVideo about gift cards I was promised for reviewing an awful TV show of theirs. Each of them gave me different contact details for the US arm, neither works.

  • brianmctavish brian mctavish (@brianmctavish) reported

    @joao_ccabello @PrimeVideo @Camila_Cabello Classy AF, enjoy the next issue of 'dumbass buys an overpriced magazine to stare at the pretty pictures'

  • jimbomorrison Jim  (@jimbomorrison) reported

    @Mastacheata @netflix @PrimeVideo FWIW I buy their products because, generally, they're better quality that the alternative. I'm not stuck - I choose the ecosystem.

  • IamCharlesQuick CHARLES QUICK (@IamCharlesQuick) reported

    @AmazonStudios @PrimeVideo @SabrinaAnnLynn Instead of making all of the essential trash movies, why not take the money you were gonna use to film and help end world hunger, stop disease, and give people around the world clean drinking water. This "woke" film doesn't do anything but make rich studios wealthier.

  • JAHRDORADA Javier Hernandez (@JAHRDORADA) reported

    @PrimeVideo good night I need help with the blocked account

  • Mastacheata Benedikt 🌻 (@Mastacheata) reported

    @jimbomorrison @netflix @PrimeVideo The HomePod has garbage quality, but great integration. The iPhone has a garbage UX, but great integration with iOS and macOS. The Laptop has dozens of competitors, but again none of them offer the integration with the other Apple services, because these are exclusive to Apple

  • Dale_Mende DaleMendez (@Dale_Mende) reported

    @prattprattpratt @TerminalListPV @PrimeVideo Who will help me with advice?

  • iamdanielrobles SonSon (@iamdanielrobles) reported

    Does @amazon know how ****** @PrimeVideo is? The app is the worst streaming platform I use, out of 9 or 10 apps it’s is the hardest to use

  • jimbomorrison Jim  (@jimbomorrison) reported

    @Mastacheata @netflix @PrimeVideo It's not an affordability thing. There simply isn't a good alt. No smart speaker delivers HomePod audio quality, nor integration with my laptop/watch/phone. No-one makes a laptop like this 64G M1 Max. No-one really competes with an iPhone 13p either. No-one does all of this.
