Same. I cancelled my prime after the last fuckup they did because I realized how little I used Amazon in the last year or two. I was wasting cash because I stopped shopping there from the awful search results and bad policing of fake products and scams. I got tired of using DDG to find what I wanted on Amazon. These billionaires are so out of touch with the rest of the world.

It's not so much that they're out of touch (though they are) as it is that they just don't give a fuck. Any way to return a profit or bump the stock price a few cents is all that matters.
