eBay has its uses, especially when you’re trying to find used genuine parts for whatever you’re working on, but other than that both eBay and Amazon seem to be flooded with Chinese crap

I bought a new fire stick from Amazon, it didn't work so I sent it back as defective. They sent me a refurbished one, and I had to fight them for weeks to accept that I paid for a new one, not a refurb.

This is exactly why I cancelled.

I canceled last time they raised the price and started including football. The only thing prime is really good for is if you like making a bunch of little purchases frequently. I honestly don't miss it at all. When I do buy something, you get free shipping on anything else you buy for the next 24 hours. That ends up covering the little stuff I might have forgotten on the original order and prime shipping was rarely 2 days anymore anyway, so what's an extra day or two wait.

Same, I often forget that prime video exists, I pay for prime so my wife’s packages arrive quicker and I get a free twitch sub monthly

I'm in Canada, honestly the only reason prime video gets used in my house, is cause it has Pingu and my kid loves that. Usually there's really nothing there aside from The Boys that I watch regularly or can't watch elsewhere. It's mostly paywalled too, with different channels you have to pay extra for, which is annoying.
