    No mention of the free shipping?

    I’m no fan of Amazon, but not mentioning the free shipping as part of the benefits of being a Prime member is not presenting an honest argument to people.

      Yeah, all those shipping costs add up over time and 100% cost you more than having Prime would. Granted not everything is on/off the Amazon store

      Lots of mentions. Most of the article is about that in particular. Don’t trust summary bots

        Well I depend on the summaries to decide if I’m going to read the article or not. /shrug

        Wait, read the article? This is Lemmy, I thought we were just supposed to read the post comments and talk about what we think might be in the article.

          Snarkiness aside, it’s fair for one to look at the summary before deciding if they want to read the whole article or not.

          The summary itself should have mentioned it, and it’s omission is suspicious.
