Are there actually any deals worth getting on Prime Day? (kbin.social)

What the title says. Every year I hear everyone at work go buzzing about Prime Day, and then when I'd go check what items were on sale they were mostly cheap gaff and a bunch of minimally discounted tech products. Am I missing something that's optimal to get around this time of year?

I got the best deal of all: canceling my Prime membership. I'm saving tons of money! 🤡

(but seriously, screw Amazon and their monopolistic, anti-labor practices)

fun fact, the term "monopolistic" refers to a specific, relatively competitive type of imperfect competition, and not to monopoly competition. You're thinking of monopoloid practices, or in the case of their labor practices, oligopsonistic (having only a few buyers and many sellers).
