I would prefer this if they made the core shipping product (the only part I actually care about) cheaper. I've never liked their bundled approach. But it looks like they're just going to increase the cost of everything else instead.

Samesies. Didn't give two shits when they bundled Amazon prime with video and such. Easy decision of my digital existence was dropping prime soon as they announced the ads and tiered payments.

I would prefer they brought back the actual shipping part. Not this $169/yr for “best effort 3-10 days depending on our mood” they want me to pay for.
