    I went back to sailing 6 months ago and dropped Netflix and Prime. I can get free shipping most anywhere now, but it’s usually slow to get here. When I tried to watch a show on Prime and got ads as frequently as basic cable I was done.

      My original reason to get Prime was that I was building a PC and the no-fuss returns policy seemed like good insurance against faulty parts. Some sellers blame problems on the customer or otherwise drag their feet on returns. TBH I hardly watch Prime anymore, but the ads really are annoying. It’s like “Oh sorry, the pitted olives will have pits from now on.”
