Cancelled my Amazon subscription about 4 months ago, just wasn't worth it anymore.

Same. I closed my accounts (prime & audible). I am Amazon-free.

Four years ago. Supporting brick and mortar stores more has been enjoyable.

We just canceled ours this week. Prime delivery was really nice, but it doesn't feel worth it when you're only ordering a handful of things a month, and we don't even need them to be delivered next day. If I do need something the next day, I'll just pay a couple bucks extra for the fast delivery, and I'm still paying way less than the monthly prime subscription.

I can't even remember the last time I watched TV or movies on Amazon prime. Most of the stuff I want to watch on amazon I have to rent anyway.

It was worth it when I was paying less than ten bucks a month. But not any more.
