Cancelled Prime membership this year due to a range of factors:
1. Product selection declining (one good product now has 20 knock off brands with 4.5-5.0 star review scores making it impossible to determine what quality level you're buying)
2. Increase in counterfeit goods enabled by the business model
3. Increase in awareness that the firm is not acting ethically or responsibly
4. Maturation of competitors that now offer similar online retail experiences, albeit within market subsets
- danpalmer 5y agoI cancelled Prime membership a few years ago for these reasons, but ended up re-subscribing mostly for the video content. It's amazing how diversified the Prime offering is now.
- yojo 5y agoThey got me with Whole Foods discount, which was already where my family bought most of its groceries. 5% cashback on $15k/year is $750. Next best alternative is 2% ($300). I 100% agree with the downhill trajectory of the web store, but don’t cancel because it’s cheaper than free.

- MattPalmer1086 5y agoI did the same last year for basically the same reasons. I'll also add that Amazon are generally not the cheapest any more either. Their only real advantages are fast delivery and the convenience of not having to enter my credit card details. I can live without those.
