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....

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 :/

This year, I bought a Costco membership and ditched Prime. Fuck Amazon.

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.

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’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.
