I mean, I get Amazon Prime via their shopping service whether I want it or not. And half of their "library" such that it exists is just links out to other paid premium services. Nevermind their Netflix-esque habit of cancelling or delaying popular shows while churning out lots of AI slop to fill in the gaps.
There's no strong incentive to drop Prime Shipping (because it's dirt cheap and I still do plenty of retail shopping on Amazon). But I find myself going to their TV / Movies selection less and less frequently. Occasionally just pirate the Amazon show I already have access to out of convenience.
Can't say the same of Netflix, though. Cancelled that shit a few years ago.
