I am in the exact same boat. The removal of "free" rotating streaming video content and limiting it to only Amazon funded shows with "free with prime" videos being hosted by 3rd party apps (fuck off, freevee) was bad enough but to start showing ads was the final straw

I cancelled my prime today. $150/yr. I can wait a few extra days for the things I need to order

I went through this a couple years ago. Decided Jeff Bezos does not need any more money, cancelled prime. Funny this was that most things ship the same as always, get them in like 2 or 3 days.

In fact, most other online retailers offer similar free 2 day shipping to stay competitive and I usually find stuff of Amazon first.

Amazon’s already provided that. Their delivery went from stellar to shit.
