It’s not just quality compared with UHD rips, it’s things like prime video refusing to play anything except 480p on a web browser… WTF are they thinking?

I don’t use if on a browser, but even on my Shield Pro it’s not great. Prime Video seems to use a very low bitrate, there’s lots of compression artifacts, even on the 4k streams.

It’s just more enshittification. If they can get away with smaller files, they absolutely will.

Internet Piracy Is Booming. Streaming Sites Are to Blame.
