Amazon fucking sucks for me now. Every fucking purchase (which is getting rare and rarer) I get asked to join prime.

There is no "don't ask me again". Every fucking time I have to select "Not now".

I've come close to writing a plugin to help you skip these ads.

Why not avoid amazon completely or as much as possible?

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 6 months ago

I already am. At this point, if I'm buying something on Amazon, it's because I cannot find a comparable product elsewhere.

I'm even paying more at other retailers. I haven't run the numbers but before I cancelled prime 4 years ago how, I easily spent thousands. Last year, I think I spent a few hundred.

This year, my goal is less than 100.
