I get Prime for free as part of a subscription I have to something else. Otherwise I would be hard pressed to subscribe. It has driven up our impulse purchase amounts, though. My eldest daughter got hooked on that shit for half a year. She needed literal detox in a clinic hahaha j/k
Joking aside, retail therapy is a thing. Some people shop when they are lonely/bored. Ask my exwife.
Holy carp... I do believe that. My condolences about your marriage. I don't even consider myself invulnerable. I have barely scratched the surface of what's on Amazon. I could one day stumble upon a whole universe of knick knacks that I would find immensely desirable. Everyone has a point of failure, it's all about finding that button to push!
