12 Dollars yearly

In which EU are you living in? It's 90€ annually in Germany, which is about 100 USD.

Poland

49 PLN is about 12 EUR\USD (and it's been like this since 2021 I believe). I am losing my mind because I can't figure this out. It's the same thing - shipping, Prime Gaming, Prime Video, free Twitch sub?

Yeah, same features. Good to know that there are incredibly high price differences, even though we're neighbouring countries.

I was thinking about that and then found this article - https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/amazon-prime-video-cost/

They collected a lot of data and stats, like the catalogue sizes of Prime Video around the world and it varies massively. So that's part of the answer. And Polish is mostly crap and midocrity, and few good older shows. Lower Decks last season is missing, this kind of crap happened to me number of times.
