Prime Video was nice, but I don’t like the move with including ads. Since they fucked me over as a linux user by using dumb DRM, I don’t really miss it.
Shipping: same as the author. I will likely get used to increased wait time. Shipping was never my main use case.
I will miss my free monthly twitch subscription. So I will likely not support my favorite streamer anymore (via twitch sub at least).
I’ll see how it goes. But fuck the industry for their ad-ridden shit tour. I will rip any service out of my life that tries that bullshit.
The Prime shipping isn’t really any faster most of the time, in my experience. I don’t bother with paying for Prime but once in awhile they offer it for free and I’ll take the offer and order a few things.
Prime sub is the only thing keeping me from cancelling, I watch Kitboga exclusively and paying for the yearly sub is almost as much as paying for prime.
