I think I might cancel. I'm not watching ads and I'm not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don't know if I'd end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though....
It is super easy to cancel. You even get a partial refund if you want it gone today. Wait a couple months and see if you really miss it. Join the piracy gang. Ultimately, you are the product and Internet streaming has turned into cable TV. Take back what little privacy you have left.
Freevee is Amazon prime video junior with ads, and that's already free. WTF, is Amazon thinking or not thinking?
I have never found anything particularly worth watching on Prime. Well Good Omens but that's not enough for a whole service.
Canceled a few months ago.
$5 to my local pbs station a month and get passport = the only streaming service i need
A passport to leave the country?
Prime is SGD2.99/month in Singapore (~USD2.26). For that you get free next day (sometimes same day) shipping, Prime Video, Prime Gaming, access to buy Amazon Fresh groceries, and probably other stuff I’m forgetting. Singapore also has low import duty which means access to a lot of Amazon US products which also come with Prime shipping, albeit they usually take a week or two to deliver.
It’s very obviously predatory pricing and I assume one day it’ll go through the roof like it has in the US but it’s interesting that Amazon can do this, right?
When I cancelled Prime I found myself buying a lot, a lot less from Amazon overall.
I thought about torrenting both series of Good Omens out of spite when I found out about this
What made decide to cancel Prime was realizing that Amazon was adding a markup to prime products that effectively cancelled out any shipping savings. But also prime video offering was crap where I live.
That and Amazon being a terrible company that I didn't want to support anyway.
