the reason why they’re doing this and the reason why it probably won’t save the product line are the same: the only reason people were buying Amazon TV devices and smart displays was to side load apps
I like how the article skims over the real reasons for the increase in piracy: fracturization of services means more expense for less of the content that I want, constantly raising prices (Hulu alone is $18 a month now) trying to force me onto ad supported plans, and there’s still ads all over everything anyway.
Excellent choice of a starter distro. I hope you have fun
