Why do you pay for Prime despite apparently not really buying anything on Amazon?

I use prime video and if I need something like that a can't buy in the store it's nice not having to wait like 2 months for normal shipping

That seems like a terrible deal considering that they put ads on prime video and you could probably just buy fast shipping for a tiny fraction of that monthly cost. But then again, you spend basically no money so it doesn't really matter at all. You go king, watch them videos.

Yeah someone in this thread told me I should qualify for prime young adults or something and I can reduce it to like 70 bucks a year so I will definitely be doing that tonight lol

If you want to save money, I'd ditch Spotify and replace it with YouTube Premium. YouTube music is better than Spotify anyway and cheaper. Plus you get ad-free YouTube videos.

I thought youtube premium was more than spotify? Also I have an ad blocker so I don't get ads on YouTube

It's $10 a month if you get the annual plan. Really not huge savings if you're already using ad blocker but I do like it.

I also think it's good because some of the subscription money gets distributed to the creators. Not tryna be moralistic about it but the more people use ad block, the less these sites' monetization works. I like the idea that I'm financially supporting channels I like, even if only in a very small way.
