This will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for me.

According to the comments, I might be the only person on earth that subscribed to Prime exclusively for their shipping.
PS: 🏴☠️
I think we had Prime before streaming even started, so that was like a bonus.
But lately we hardly use it. The site is so janky and bloated with trash, I’d rather pay shipping and buy directly from a brand website or a normal retailer. Most have free shipping nowadays anyway.
I just bought an Apple USB wall adapter from Amazon because Best Buy was out of them. I spent like 20 minutes inspecting it and the package and watching videos about how to make sure it isn’t counterfeit. Buying a $20 thing shouldn’t be a stressful ordeal.
Naw, I was too. Haven’t been for a year or two, but I’ve only ever subscribed to them for the shipping. Barely used their streaming when I did cause, also, yarr 🏴☠️
Imagine for a second you were a paid member of a gym, but decided to do most of your exercise outside the gym you just paid for.
That’s most streaming platforms for a large amount of people. They’re so inconvenient that people will pay for them, and still not use the service they paid for.
A damning indictment of modern day streaming platforms tbh.
the music is a more significant boost to the shipping than the video.

We just write down things we need to get from Amazon, then wait until they give us another free trial month of Prime and do it all at once lol.
