Strongly agree. Dropped prime after I Amazon adds mean I couldn't find what I wanted. Now use google to find specific stuff on D2C websites (probably Shopify) and spend less. It's great!

I dropped prime after "two-day shipping on all orders" had degenerated into "we'll deliver it when we feel like it, and you can't get two-day shipping even if you're willing to pay extra for it".

My favorite is when I buy something from Prime and it says two day delivery once it ships in two weeks.

What even is Prime without faster shipping?

A bad spinoff of Lord of the Rings nobody watched..?

I wish this was a joke, but they did increase the cost of prime to pay for that trash, rather than focusing on what people really use Prime for.

I'm annoyed that they keep raising the price to pay for a streaming service I barely use. But I still can get most things next day or two days at most.

And I very much enjoyed the Lord of the Rings series they did. High production quality and pretty good story telling. But I suppose I am easily entertained.

Prime Video, though that isn't worth the cost.

Prime Video is the reason I never got prime. Was using it free for a year as a student end when that expired I considered signing up for the free shipping. But then they bundled the Delivery-Prime with the video streaming service which doubled the price if you are not interested in video streaming.

It also used to stop you from seeing ads on Twitch. Not anymore.
