I've already resolved to cancel my Prime subscription, and this reveal just confirms my decision. I was happy with getting free 2-day shipping for $40 (or even $80) a year. I'm not happy paying $100 for a less robust "2-day shipping" service, a crappy VOD service, and a music streaming service with none of the music I listen to.

I'm with you. Prime was great for "free" delivery for the physical items I purchased from Amazon.

However, Prime Video is not something I can use. In short, does it work on Linux? No. Therefore, the price increase for no apparent benefit has now priced me out of this product.

Pardon me, but could you expand on "a less robust '2-day shipping' service"? I'm not aware of what you're talking about and would like to know, as I'm currently a Prime customer as well.

They've removed a number of items from Prime, and now left them in a strange limbo of "Add-on items" which can only ship with $25+ orders.

I've also had a significant portion of my orders take well over two business days to arrive, even with Prime shipping.
