I think I might cancel. I’m not watching ads and I’m not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don’t know if I’d end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though…

No one needs one day shipping. And the human toll that Amazon and their prime service takes on their workers should be enough for anyone to stop using their services wholesale.

I don’t know where you live, but this year for Black Friday Amazon workers from over 30 different countries protested over inhuman working contditions. Countries included Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa, Turkey and the U.K.

And anyway, even if they were treated well, you are still supporting a horrible company that exploits people globally.

Yes black Friday. But that’s a shitshow in all imaginable ways anyway, besides that its not that bad.

And yes i “support” it until i can find some else that can supply me small quantities of very specific things for a reasonable price in short time.

I don’t like Amazon, but they aren’t the worst either. Also, you use their stuff as well, Amazon isn’t just the web-shop, its also server hosting and other IT solutions, most stuff you use has some Amazon In it.
