I think I might cancel. I'm not watching ads and I'm not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don't know if I'd end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though....
This is one of many reasons why I'm selling my Kindle Paperwhite and getting a Pocketbook Ink Pad 3 Color. Amazon is the Apple of retail, which drips down to even the ebooks. I do, however, have to consider my wife's comfort when ordering stuff, but otherwise, ready to pull the plug on Bezoz and his gang.
I’ve literally never streamed a single video from prime and don’t plan to. The deals for prime members and shipping alone save me more than the yearly cost. The instant their yearly cost outweighs shipping fees I’ll cancel in a second.
I was rooting for Prime Video but they don't even have any Premiership football from next season, so it's an irrelevant service now
I have it for the shipping otherwise I'd cancel. I'm certainly not watching the stuff on there with ads.
This year, I bought a Costco membership and ditched Prime. Fuck Amazon.
Looks like Amazon wants to close off this year with yet another rent-seeking episode. Thankfully I don't use Amazon, but my parents still pay for Prime specifically for their streaming service, so this is going to be very annoying for them :/
It was already bad enough when they advertised for their own shows at the beginning of episodes...
Anyway, I stopped subscribing to Prime years ago, didn't want to give my money to Amazon unless I have no other place to purchase some items.
This is such a weird way of announcing/implementing a $3/month increase for Prime video by Amazon, and a lot more destructive PR-wise too.
Canceled a few months ago.
