    So first the two day shipping became priority shipping.

    Now the limited included movies and tv shows are getting ads.

    All while the price of Prime goes up every year.

    Tell me again how Prime is worth it?

      at the cost of destroying the global economy, it was never worth it

      I quit prime after the last prime day and have saved so much money. It’s really something how much influence that subscription had on me, and how cancelling it changed my buying habits.

        It’s crazy isn’t it? I canceled mine probably around the same time. Now I actually shop around online and either find a better deal or buy straight from the manufacturer for the same price (meaning they end up with more money since Amazon doesn’t get a cut). Amazon is now my LAST resort instead of the first place I land.

          Shipping is barely and slower direct from the manufacturer for me too. On average it’s the same.

      The unlimited full resolution photo storage is what keeps me subscribed. Everything else is just extra.

      The Prime shipping I don’t really care about; it’s easy enough to just wait until the cart hits the free shipping spend. Prime streaming was fine, previously. We like a few of their shows, but it’s just as convenient to pirate then now that they’re adding ads.

      Is there a better option for cheap off-site unlimited photo storage?
