    The only reason I used prime video was because it came with prime. I’m just going to stop using it altogether if there’s ads

      I’m probably just going to cancel prime. It’s only gotten worse and worse. I can wait a week for shipping

        I think Prime is up to $140 a year now. They used to promise 2 day delivery, but that is now 2 day shipping, and delays prior to shipment aren’t counted. We are not renewing when it comes up later this month. It’s no longer worth it.

          I like the same day delivery stuff. A lot of their catalog gets to me in a couple hours if my cart is over $25

          Honestly, that’s the only thing keeping me paying for prime. Most of the shit in their catalog comes in less than a week without prime. But if I need something today, Prime is cheaper than a lot of the competing same-day delivery services.

        We cancelled back in 2022. It was noticable for about a month, then we got used to buying much less and going to a store for what we needed. I feel better about buying directly from a company’s site when I need to get their product online and most places offer free shipping anyway.

      Right? Or maybe watching the first part of a show until the first commercial to determine if I want to take the time to find it elsewhere.
