As if the Prime Video app couldn't get any worse.

I was a long time subscriber as well, but canceled right before Christmas 2022. I missed it for about a week and then I realized most things I "needed immediately" from Amazon I could either 1) drive across town to purchase from brick and mortar or 2) actually just wait for it.

The end result has been me buying less things I don't need, and buying the things I do need from local retailers (and of course big box stores), or ordering them from other online retailers since the shipping is comparable to Amazon.

2 years in and I don't miss it at all, will never go back. I do want to watch the Fallout series though.

As they've turned into wish.com over the last few years I've bought less and less from them so I by the end I was mainly paying for the TV service.

I don't see myself gong back either.

You can sail the high seas for Fallout. It's worth it!
