The value proposition of Prime Video for me as an existing customer is so low at this point that it's not even worth paying for it at all, let alone the extra $36/year to watch their shows ad-free. I've watched everything I'm interested in and the shows I liked have all ended, with one heavily qualified exception (Rings of Power). I'd cancel it entirely like I did with Netflix and "Max" if the shipping benefit didn't make Prime itself so worthwhile to me. Maybe I'll just delete the app from my media player and move on with my life.
The Boys is the only show I've cared about in like three years on Amazon. HBO max has some good stuff, but you can sub to that on any service.
But I also cancelled my prime a year or two ago when 2 day shipping stopped being a thing. That seems to be a common refrain I keep seeing.
I still get two-day shipping, along with one-day and often same-day, so definitely worth it to me.
I forgot about The Boys. Maybe I'll wait for the next season to come out and then pay $3 for exactly one month in order to binge the whole season.
