This is the main reason I cancelled Prime. They started advertising “More than just free shipping”, and I realized that I only used it for free shipping, and as Prime got more and more expensive I wasn’t getting any value from it.
Now I just put stuff in my cart until I have $35 worth of stuff, and get free shipping anyway. It’s not that much slower. An extra day or two usually, and it doesn’t bother me one bit. I can wait a little while for my $10 guitar strap and it’s not the end of the world.
Except an employer, they don’t want to be that.
Well, they want to be everyone’s former employer at least.

There are things that you can’t find anywhere but Amazon and it blows
you’re saying that like their search works
You mean you didn’t want the “ZVIANX USB Charging APPLE ANDROID TRUE WIRELESS Charging PAD”?
They behave exactly like black mold. They start coalescing in some adjacent space and suddenly BOOM. Online storefront, starts hosting its own servers, that becomes part of the business. Starts building out warehouses, that becomes part of the business. IoT things that run on their servers, then cameras, gobbles up Blink. They even had a pilot project for restaurant delivery, we’ll probably see that again once they can tie it into their parcel delivery fleet
Where’s my waifu Bezos body pillow?
Wow really? So nice of it to go ahead and start protecting its namesake from total annihilation.
maybe they can start by fixing their search. yesterday i was looking up the cheapest rechargable lithium battery of a certain type across several sites. amazon was the worst experience. after i sorted by price, i noticed the top 3 results before sorting were missing from the results, one of them should have been near the top. i tried a few things, but they (and a few others) just show up without sorting. horrible.
They won’t because it works exactly as they want it to
