I've been planning on cancelling prime at the end of the year. This closes the decision making process for me.
I've been sticking to Pluto and Tubi lately. Yes, they have ads, but they are entirely free and have enough content to keep me entertained for the duration of my ever decreasing television watching habits.
(End of year because due to terms and conditions, there is no benefit to cancel early)
I see prime as a freebie. I get it cause I have prime for my package deliveries
My experience with prime delivery in 2023 is that it has gone from two days to four days to two weeks to completely lost fuck you trying to get a refund.
Further, I stopped using eBay in the late 2000s because everything there became "fell off a truck in China" quality. This is what a vast percentage of Amazon product has become.
This is the crux desire to cancel.
eBay has its uses, especially when you’re trying to find used genuine parts for whatever you’re working on, but other than that both eBay and Amazon seem to be flooded with Chinese crap
