I never got Prime before because the cost would amortize to an expensive shipping rate for me based on how many orders I make. And I didn't need the other Prime benefits.

But their hard selling it to the point of hostility to non-Prime customers (higher prices) has added an element of stubbornness to my objection to it. Both Prime and ordering on Amazon in general.

Once a user has Prime, they tend to order more from Amazon.

Well sure. If loyalty programs didn't overall favor the merchant, they wouldn't be offered.

giving discounts for Prime members is not the same as being hostile to non prime customers.
