    I swear the actual gain from prime is virtually indecipherable. The less you understand it, the less you can actually complain about what you are paying for.

    It also does not boost my confidence when they use deceptive patterns to sneak you back into prime, or keep you from leaving.

    The average person doesn’t give a hoot though, and will get actively upset at you for pointing out deceptive patterns when it’s a brand they use, so I we can probably expect things to get worse whenever physically possible.

      I have appreciated Amazon’s tactics in trying to get me back to subscribing to audible. I’ve gotten 4 books this year for free, I just set a reminder to cancel the sub once the free month is almost over.
