2-day delivery is almost non-existent.
Free returns got eliminated.
Amazon music went from lame to unusable.
They already increased the base price.
And now +3/month to not have ads.
Prime has a remarkably shitty user interface that continually steers you to buy even more from them.

To put this in perspective: amazon's profits had an 18.52% increase year-over-year for 2023.

Also there is almost nothing on prime I care to watch.
