I had been considering cancelling my Amazon subscription. I don't know what I'm really paying for, just for expedited shipping? I don't even use Amazon prime videos since it's mostly garbage. Thanks to Amazon for making my decision easy to cancel.

I actually realized I almost never take advantage of real prime perks anymore and the cost was ridiculous. Nearly $200 a year and all for maybe faster shipping?

I can get most the things on eBay or wherever anyways and it's the same Chinese crap. Or free shipping anyway from Amazon.

Local is even better and maybe I can actually try shit on and not buy literal garbage. It's hardly worth it.

In the UK it was where they showed Mr Robot and a few other things on streaming services and channels not usually available here. It introduced me to Halt and Catch Fire and other good stuff. YMMV depending on location of course.
