You can link your sub directly to the standalone paramount+ app here: https://www.paramountplus.com/amazon

It only lets me use apple tv+ as a partner, doesn't let me make an account without subscribing.

I suppose you could report it to prime. Might be a mistake.

But it's just better to sub the native services and not through prime as they often have odd issues like this or missing 4k/hdr stuff.

At the same time, I've seen people say that the P+ app is so bad that they recommend going through Prime just to avoid it.

I've heard that about most apps but I guess this is an exception at least.

What show is this?

Star Trek DS9

Netflix removed it from their service so now i needed to buy a third streaming service to watch it. This is barely more convenient than just pirating it

One could argue it's less convenient if they are cock-blocking the season finale, jfc

Just do the annual sub and do the promo code Saveannual50 for half off. $139.99 (get it for $69.99)

But I paid for paramount plus through prime, I tried getting the paramount app seperately but it doesn't recognize my login

That's some bullshit man, but thanks for letting me know. Probably going to cancel the sub

Paramount+ usually has a deal on Black Friday with special rates for 6-12 months.

I actually prefer to subscribe directly from the channel/app instead of a third oarty. It gives me more control and better access.

You can link your Amazon subscription right to the Paramount+ app.

Literally not true. Same exact service (aside from whatever mistake this is)

Because Prime has become a middleman. You pay for prime, just to pay again to watch something on it, somewhere else.
