      Yes, no point of complaining about ads if you keep your subscription.

      Harder to do if you use Prime for other things. I’ve never watched a single Amazon video but I’m trying to source other purchase options locally so I can finally cancel the Prime shipping, which was saving our household money over the years. That said, if we can avoid it in the future we’ll stay off Amazon.

      I pay yearly for Amazon Prime, and I still need the other stuff it provides.

      I would cancel just Prime Video if I could… but I can’t.

        It doesn’t provide anything. They already offer free shipping on orders above $25. If you insist on buying from them, just wait to buy stuff until you need $25 worth, then check out.

          Or… Just hear me out… One could not use Amazon. It’s easy for me to say, living in Denmark, where we can order from Amazon, but it’s not worth it. Everyone should boycott Amazon, considering they’re slave laborers…

            I’m 100% with you. All for buying anything you can, not from Amazon. But for some people, especially here in the United States, Amazon has become the only option to buy certain items. Just trying to get people alternatives to paying $160 a year for a service that doesn’t really provide much of anything in my eyes.
