Between inserting ads into Amazon Video, scaling back on fast delivery, and this it looks like Amazon has maxed out their growth and are scaling back on their loss leaders that were used to get where they are.
For the first time in at least a decade of being a Prime member. I have set a reminder to cancel before it renews next time.
So many deliveries fail to be on time, I'm getting too many ads in my face when I use products I paid for (Fire TV auto-plays ads for content or cars or whatever now).
Cancel now! It's incredibly convoluted process that makes you think you've done it but no, there's always one more confirm screen hiding behind a tiny button
Last time I canceled it it was very easy to do (amazon.ca)
