No, I stopped it. Very little is free two day shipping and I can wait if need be.
Since I consider Bezos evil incarnate, I am helping the world by not contributing to his company.
I do use Amazon as a Sears Catalog, I look there for the products and buy them elsewhere, usually less expensively.
For example, I always compare prices between Amazon and Alibris for books, even with shipping, Alibris comes out ahead. And I don’t mind paying for shipping. as long as my total price is same or less.
I did not find their catalog of films compelling, lot of c and d rated films and I can just buy a film I want to see that is in their catalog if I want to, I don’t need prime.
Netflix has a better catalog of films and their DVD selection is great!
I use the shipping 0-4 times a month. I guess it’s a savings. The movie selection is not that great. Forget about seeing a recent blockbuster on prime video.
Exactly. Me too. I refuse to ever use Amazon for anything.

We purchased a $700 Nikon digital camera through one of Amazon’s third parties, and it turned out to be a gray market ticket with costly issues. The camera store refused to refund or repair the camera, and Amazon would not back it up either, so while we still purchase a few small items through them, they lost a good customer overall.
And I really do not like how Amazon “Prime shames” a person if they do not scoop it up.
Same here. I use them mainly for customer reviews, knowing that there are paid commenters. They've steered me from a few bad buys. Usually end up getting the item from eBay as may are offering free shipping. Same for Wal-Mart if the total over $35.
