I canceled my Prime account this past summer when I was informed they were going to increase my yearly fee. I've been a Prime member since 2003. It used to be FREE strict 2 day shipping on everything amazon sold. I think it was $85 a year then. 100% worth the fee. The shipping got worse and worse until the peak shit when they sold the contract for shipping to USPS from UPS for the majority of packages. Used to be if something wasn't there by the guaranteed delivery date, you could call and complain and you'd get a month of prime added to your account. Then it got so frequent they started changing that to a $5 credit if you complained. Now they just change the "guaranteed" date if it's going to be late, and no one gives a fuck if it still doesn't get there. All this time the fee has ballooned to over $140. Now you're telling me they're going to start adding commercials to their streaming? It's total horse shit from one of the largest companies in the world. They shit the bed with the gawd awful Rings of Power and are passing that cost on to us. Fuck Amazon, Hulu, Disney, Netflix. They are all garbage companies. Fcuking pirate everything you can.
