Recent changes to Amazon Prime Video, including the introduction of ads and an extra cost to opt out of them, have prompted some Prime members to question the value of their subscription. Despite these alterations, the overall benefits of Amazon Prime continue to outweigh the costs for many users. Key advantages include free shipping and fast delivery, Whole Foods grocery delivery perks, prescription benefits through Amazon Pharmacy, exclusive discounts during Prime Day and daily deals, and access to Prime Video’s extensive library, which remains competitively priced even with the ad-free option. The blog post suggests that if users frequently shop on Amazon, rely on Whole Foods for grocery delivery, use prescription services, and take advantage of Prime Day and exclusive discounts, the subscription cost is justified. However, individual preferences regarding Prime Video’s ad-free option may influence its perceived value.
Is Amazon Prime still worth it? All the pros and cons – CBS News
I’ve had Prime for many years, not so much for the video aspect, but for the two-day shipping. Ironically, the two-day shipping isn’t really two days anymore (for a lot of things). As for the video aspect, there’s only 2 to 3 shows on Prime that my wife and I even watch. The most recent being Reacher. Even still, those shows can be found… elsewhere.
