The author canceled their Amazon Prime subscription on a whim and realized they didn't really need it.
Leaving Prime meant slower shipping but the author was happy to wait and still found the selection and delivery speed satisfactory.
Many people love Prime for its fast shipping and convenience, but some readers expressed ambivalence and considered canceling.

Same, but it means for cheap electronics I have to pay more.

Last time I ran out of coffee, Amazon meant that I had a couple months worth delivered to my door overnight. I’m more addicted to coffee than to Amazon, so, yes, I need it
