Pay an extra 3 bucks a month to avoid ads, what BS.
Advertising is such a cancer, it’s spreading to all aspects of our lives. I hate it.
Enshittification intensifies.
Like others on here, I did not renew my subscription for Prime. You could see where they were heading and the cost/benefit ratio is not there.
My wife shops on Amazon way more than me and she has never had Prime. Not having 2 day shipping never (ad in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1; Here at Target we >>Skip) bothered her and she never watched shows on there other than what you already have to rent to watch even with Prime.
I encourage others to drop it, give it a spin, see how you (ad in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1; Don’t let psoriasis get >>Skip) enjoy a little extra jingle in your pockets.
I have prime membership for the 5% off prime card. It pays for membership easily as I shop there a lot. Also, they typically do a 6% discount if I select the slower shipping. Idk.
You don’t have to pay for shipping on Amazon without prime?
Here it’s 2,9 USD for shipping unless you spend more than 22,90 USD That price is for shipping to a pickup location that’s. Shipping time is 3-5 business days.
Priority shipping to a pickup location is 4,9 USD. Shipping time is 1-2 business days.
Home delivery is 4,9 USD. Shipping time is 3-5 business days.
These shipping prices are similar to of other stores in my country. Although some stores offer always free home delivery nowadays.
Prime costs 5,9 USD/month (4,575 USD/month for annual plan). So it seems that prime has a better value in my country.
(All prices include VAT)
Because their current huge profits aren’t enough? Someone needs a new yacht?
So I have to pay extra to watch them butcher Wheel of Time now?
Weird i never see ads on the stuff in my Plex server 🤔
Well fuck em. It’s not like they had a lot going for them anyway.
You mean in addition to the ads they shove in front of their shows now? Will the added fee mean they remove those as well?
I stopped paying for prime earlier this year when 2 day shipping wasn’t always 2 day shipping anymore. I always viewed the prime video as a crappier Netflix or Hulu add on that I wouldn’t have paid for anyway. I still have the app on my androidtv box and actually watched something the other day, “with ads”, without having a prime account.
I guess I don’t have much of a point other than if they’re going to do this for prime subscribers too, if anyone is paying for prime primarily for the video service, they may as well stop and watch with ads anyway.
I canceled Prime and got a partial refund. So nice of them!
I hate this era of the streaming race to the bottom.
I live in a remote area and I am Primed for the free shipping. If I drop prime how much will shipping hurt me?
