I canceled Prime about 18 months ago, and now every single time I go to check out on Amazon, before the checkout page there's a splash screen a the gigantic, bright blue CHECK OUT WITH PRIME button, and then under that, in 8pt font with grey-on-white text, a "No thanks, continue without Prime" link. The lack of any subtlety would be hilarious if it wasn't so irritating. Throw the book at them.
- crazygringo 1y agoAh thanks, I did some digging and found some screenshots from 2017 and 2022 respectively: https://i.insider.com/6226b418990863001998d7a9?width=1200&format=jpeg&auto=webp https://i.insider.com/6226b418990863001998d7a9?width=1200&fo... https://i.insider.com/6226b454dcce010019a7243a?width=1200&format=jpeg&auto=webp https://i.insider.com/6226b454dcce010019a7243a?width=1200&fo... The "no thanks" on the second one does seem particularly egregious. I'm curious if there's a screenshot of the current one you describe.
- cratermoon 1y agoThe "I do not want fast, free shipping" in the first screenshot is insulting. The worst kind of dark pattern guilting.
- trenchpilgrim 1y agoMine also uses wording that strongly implies I'll be paying as much as $7 for shipping without Prime, on an order with free shipping.
