It was already shitty when they started to charge extra for all these "channels".
Now it's even worse.
Is it worth keeping for the prime deliveries?
This is what I’m undecided about. For quite a few items my shopping list, Amazon is cheaper or significantly quicker to use. The free delivery, and often, overnight or same day delivery is incredibly helpful.
The video platform was never part of the value of the subscription for me tbh.
I haven't used prime video for well over 2 years as it has become sluggish, bloated and full of junk.
However, I have come to realise that the savings of postage in my case far outweighs the cost of the annual prime subscription.
To the people that say it's bad for the environment. Amazon is a shity corporation but they have introduced the "package all items together" (well here on the UK at least). So what I do, is that I will only order a maximum of 2 times a week and I accumulate everything I need. If I can get away with one a week or longer, I'll wait.
But in the end of the day it is up to you on how much you use the delivery service vs any of the "other" prime benefits.
