oof

THIS exactly

imagine thinking this

First time posting but isn’t it wild how "skill issue" and "imagine thinking this" are just ways to avoid engaging with the actual question *(edited)*

bruh

i was a hardcore Amazon Prime fan, still am, but lately I've been noticing I'm not getting that same excitement from unboxing my free 2-day deliveries - I swear, last year I had the Prime Day haul of a lifetime, got my hands on a Le Creuset for 50% off - now it's just free shipping, which is cool but..

But what about the way they keep bundling in random stuff like Twitch Prime now? feels like they’re just throwing spaghetti at the wall to keep the subscription count up 😭

bro 💀

bro 💀

didn't read lol

Ugh, I feel that, Daniela. The free shipping threshold used to be $25 like forever ago, now it’s like $35 or even $49 for some stuff? It’s wild how they’ve been nudging it up. I get it’s inflation and all, but it still stings when you’re trying to stick to a budget.

Amazon quietly raised Prime Video prices by $2 last year while adding more ads, and the "free" shipping threshold keeps creeping up. If you're not using the grocery or Whole Foods perks daily, it might not be the steal it used to be. *(edited)*

lmaooo

omg same, like I swear they keep shrinking the free shipping window but then randomly offer it on stuff I actually want anyway! *(edited)*

I'm with you, I feel like they've slowly raised the prices while quietly cutting back on benefits, it really feels like the free 2-day shipping on non-Amazon products that used to be one of my favorite perks is almost non-existent now and that's a big loss for me, as someone who shops from lots of smaller brands

First time posting but ngl the free shipping threshold keeps creeping up and it’s so annoying

Yeah, they’ve been nickel-and-diming us for years now—used to be free two-day shipping was the big sell, now it’s like they’re charging extra just to breathe on your package. And don’t get me started on how they’ve stretched the definition of “Prime” to include a bunch of stuff you don’t actually use, like that weird music service nobody asked for.

but what about the free returns and the music streaming? still beats most other services

First time posting but isn't it wild how they bundle in groceries and music now but the free shipping STILL takes "2-5 business days" like it's 2012? did they ever fix the app crashing when you try to watch something offline?

Like they're ruining the magic one bundle at a time lol

bro typed all this out and still got it wrong

Bundled convenience isn't free. 🔥

Prime cost me 100 dollars extra

what even counts as prime anymore

not you thinking anyone cares

Man, I remember when Prime was just $79 and two-day shipping was actually two days. Now it’s like they’re auditioning for a nickel-and-dime Olympics every other month.

came here to say this

underrated take

This whole thread is giving me anxiety

I have been saying this for years and nobody listened lol

THIS exactly

OP should pin this

wait, what do you mean by "quietly ruined it"? Like, did they add more ads or something?

Yeah they just slap ads on everything now like a desperate tiktok knockoff

no thoughts detected

skill issue

First time posting but I keep hearing about Prime getting more expensive while the perks feel diluted—like they added more ads but not more value. Did they quietly swap free shipping for "free with Prime" tiers or am I imagining things?

and I oop

i totally get why people are talking about Amazon Prime being 'ruined' - I mean, I personally tried to switch from Amazon Fresh to Instacart and WAS shocked to find out it costs more, like $10 more, each week. I ended up saving some cash in the long run, but it really made me question if the extra benefits of Prime are worth the monthly fee.

First time posting but... I miss the old benefits.

bro 💀

lmao i used to love prime, then i got charged $24 extra for my pup's stuff lol, now i'm rethinking

this right here 👆 *(edited)*

lowkey tho

Oh man, I *totally* feel this! I canceled my Prime membership last year after they raised the price *again* and then hid the free grocery delivery behind a "Prime Pantry" fee that’s basically just another sneaky upsell. Now I just use the free shipping loophole with my student discount and it’s way better!

Ugh, same, I got charged twice in one month last year and the customer service was like "welp, our bad...

Did they actually change the perks this year, or is it just the algorithm making me notice every little price hike? I still use the free shipping more than anything else, but I swear the "free" movies feel like they’re buried under a mountain of ads now. What’s the one thing you miss the most from Prime that you feel got worse? *(edited)*

ok fair

Did they actually raise prices again or is this just another round of "Amazon quietly making things worse" panic ngl

Free shipping isn’t free anymore?

Wait, what’s the "quietly ruined" part you’re referring 2? I’ve heard about price hikes but nothing that screams "they ruined it." lmao *(edited)*

Ngl Amazon Prime’s been getting sketchy with the price hikes and random “free shipping” tweaks lmao. Still worth it if you’re a shopaholic or binge-watchers but the perks feel watered down now. Like yeah you get music and some shows but half the time it’s just ads in disguise
