Since they added commercials to prime video we have been considering dropping prime. Video was really the only thing keeping us lately.

    Was one of the people who dropped it after the commercials were added. Started using our library instead and haven’t really missed the video streaming. I’ll log in via a browser every so often and get offered a free month or week of prime and immediately cancel. Was able to access prime day deals without paying for anything.

    I use Kanopy through my library for free streaming. They have quite a bit of a selection too! Also there's Freegal music streaming, like Spotify, but free through the library.

    I can never find anything to watch on Prime Video. My subscription is any to renew in September and I'm about to turn off auto renew. I'll still order my regular things from Amazon but now I'll wait until my cart has $35+ in it for free shipping.
