Same. I'm not even sure why I have it now. Shipping is atrocious even though I'm less than 5 miles from a distribution center. I barely buy from them anymore since I don't know if I'm going to get a used returned item or not.

“But Netflix did it and subscribers went up so we did it”

This is why voting with your wallet is so goddamn important

That's how it used to be last year, but the goal posts move every year to less value for consumers and more money to the billionaries.

Tell that to the cable networks. We all knew it was just a matter of time before streaming services got greedy, and now they're all trying it.

implied Anakin & Padme meme 😆

For sure, it’ll happen just after I get my refund for the lack of new content due to the writer’s strike. Any day now.

No same price the will charge a extra for ad free

I told my girlfriend just now that we are cancelling... She was fine with it.

Bye prime.

wanna say that corpos making decisions like this indicate a lack of oversight/sensibility but honestly it seems to be fucking working.

I think it's more of a sign that we've reached a natural demarcation point of capitalism. There's not a lot of ways for these service industries to achieve growth year over year, and a lot of them are dependent year over year growth to remain in solvency.

You can't lower production cost anymore, you're already paying people as little as possible. You've already run off any competition you could, except for maybe the one or two that would lead to destructive competition if you tried. The government won't let you conglomerate with your remaining competitors, because even they realize there needs to be at least an illusion of competition...... after all that, who's left to squeeze? Well we can't screw over the investors, that's the only crime we can actually be prosecuted for.

I guess it's time to fuck the consumer!

Legitimately not any slower if you live in an area with a warehouse.

I did prime for a bit, the ONLY thing I liked was not having a minium purchase. But everything is so expensive these days that's $35 minimum purchase is in no way hard for free shipping.

Like 3 days, lol
