I swear the actual gain from prime is virtually indecipherable. The less you understand it, the less you can actually complain about what you are paying for.
It also does not boost my confidence when they use deceptive patterns to sneak you back into prime, or keep you from leaving.
The average person doesn't give a hoot though, and will get actively upset at you for pointing out deceptive patterns when it's a brand they use, so I we can probably expect things to get worse whenever physically possible.
I have appreciated Amazon’s tactics in trying to get me back to subscribing to audible. I’ve gotten 4 books this year for free, I just set a reminder to cancel the sub once the free month is almost over.
Someone else said they will do the same thing with prime if you don't order a lot.
Can confirm.
I only order off Amazon 4-5 times a year, and almost every time they offer me either a month free trial, a week free trial, or a month for $2.99.
I just say yes, then immediately go to the account page and set it to cancel at the end of the period instead of autorenewing.
