    Glad I cancelled my prime account. Prime Video was already crap when they added adverts but also what’s the ppint of subscribing to services that waste your time with incomplete shows.

    Plus the lock-in to Amazon for shopping is a false economy with prices inflated to cover the cost of shipping and a shit ton of crap 3rd party merchandise and counterfeits. Because Amazon pools its stock with 3rd party seller’s stock even “sold by Amazon” stuff can be counterfeits including dangerous electronics.

    I strongly recommend people cancel their Amazon prime accounts. Its not worth it - Amazon are fleecing you.

      I’m gonna need a source on that, I’ve bought from Amazon for years (Its either that or back to… Walmart 🤢) and I’m frequently doing price comparison and Amazon might not beat the big box stores on everything, but they are certainly not more expensive.

      I have also never gotten a counterfeit that I didn’t order intentionally
