> Amazon has nailed free shipping with prime.

Not everywhere. I didn't renew my prime subscription a few years ago, because they rarely met their delivery times and I was starting to get broken, counterfeit, and obviously returned/resold items.

Never paid Amazon a dime for Prime, like ever. I’m sure I’m missing something but in general shy away from any and all subscriptions.

I consistently and daily choose no, fuck off and give me the free shipping I’ll wait. If I don’t have enough in my cart for free shipping I wait and add more to my cart later

I'm with you on anything charged monthly, even though I feel Amazon Prime Videos outshines Netflix in terms of good older movies.

That said, I know too many people who renew Prime like it was a church tithing. (Yes--I know about their yearly deal.)

It's not movies these people like either. These people love the formulated crap Netflix vomits.

Your post resonated with me because I try hard to avoid any monthly fees for any product. Plus--unless you order a lot, people are just giving Amazon free money.

You just reminded me to cancel Apple storage.
