I used to love Amazon as a service, despite their monopolistic practices, but I find myself avoiding using Amazon more and more because of the slow erosion of service quality over the last few years. I can handle the price increase of Prime, but I no longer feel I get the same quality service. A few things I have noticed:

1. I see less 1 day shipping on items than a few years ago.

2. My subscribe and save items are over priced and usually out of stock

3.Twitch has a lot of ads

4.Amazon Prime will now have ads

5. Brand safety - too many scam sellers or low priced untested junk sellers on Amazon. Apparel is particularly bad. A lot of knock offs.

You say that but everyone in my family gets actively angry when they have to buy something from a non-Amazon storefront. I switched shoe brands from Nike because I was so mad they don’t sell on Amazon directly anymore.
