especially if you ignore all the shitty tactics that Amazon uses in its daily operations and only focus on the shopping experience. I use to enjoy shopping on Amazon but disappearing brand names, bad search results, ADs, Chinese crap, and counterfeit products have led me to look for HONEST shopping alternatives. After Amazon added a $2.99 a month fee to remove ADs from Prime Video and increased the monthly fee for Kindle Unlimited by $2 month, I cancelled Prime. In my case, Amazon increased my monthly fees by 23% for what? Not for better service, not better selection, not for us only for Amazon and its shareholders.
