I think I might cancel. I'm not watching ads and I'm not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don't know if I'd end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though....

No one needs one day shipping. And the human toll that Amazon and their prime service takes on their workers should be enough for anyone to stop using their services wholesale.

And anyway, even if they were treated well, you are still supporting a horrible company that exploits people globally.
