I got Dark Patterned into prime a few years ago. I was a low volume purchaser anyway and only used prime video for a handful of shows, I never used the music service since access to it was just another flagrant lock-in. I left Prime in Aug.

I was surprised with the things I bought since then, despite the quoted delivery being wose, they all actually arrived next day anyway. And I did not miss prime video at all.

Since I'm not paying to make my eyeballs available you're not even going to make the ad money off me. The ads are just punishing the people still giving them money for prime.

My understanding is Super Saver Shipping is more or less "when convenient for us". So if, like me, you live somewhere Prime trucks are on your street every day anyways, Prime doesn't offer any real speed improvement. Maybe if something is only available at a distant warehouse they won't spend anything extra getting it to you quickly but in most cases... yeah, it's still in two days.

I also find Super Saver helps me spend less: I won't order something unless my order is big enough for free shipping, and half the time by the time it is, I decide I didn't really need something or other anyways.
