I’d seen rumours online but got the email this morning.
EDIT: seems like there won’t be ads for everyone straight away.
- Live events, such as sports, and content offered through Amazon Freevee will continue to include advertising. Customers in the Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man won’t see ads in their experience at this time.
Would drop prime but I use it mainly for the shipping advantages and dont watch anything on it except 2 shows
You do you. But I would like to point out that prime encourages excessive consumption of crap we all don’t need. Maybe this bullshit will let you consider dumping prime altogether and perhaps you will find that it isn’t missed.
Personally I do buy stuff from amazon on occasion. Like windshield wipers of odd sizes. But the lack of two day shipping is a good moderator to help me curb my american programmed buy-fucking-everything-to-fill-that-hole-inside mentality.
If you live in an urban area it’s often cheaper for grocery essentials you would totally buy anyway, I have prime for shipping purposes and can’t remember the last time I bought a non-grocery/drug item… maybe an SD card? But I like, needed an SD card for a specific task I wasn’t just buying SD cards because they look sexy.
Same thing with costco. I’m in line, they scan me, look you could pay for our premium membership, you’d have saved $300 last year.
I shouldn’t have even bought the $1200 worth last year, the last thing i need is to have a reason to shop there more often.
I used to have their card just for gas. But I sold my truck and have an EV now. Maybe it’s time to close that account because costco is truly a detriment to my after tax take home pay.
Except their premium canned peanuts. God those are good. The stuff at the grocery store is always stale and 4x the price per weight.
If you can go in with a plan and stick to it, they’re a good deal. As long as you only buy stuff you’d get elsewhere and stick to the plan.
50 lbs of rice is way cheaper per lb than a 1 lb bag from the store. Their giant container of Saran wrap and tin foil will last a family years. Their take away containers are cheaper than Amazon.
You just have to figure out how to stop from going oh wait I could use one of those… ;)
