Mark my words...Amazon is going to experiment with tiering off Prime programs like cable. Want "The Boys?" or "Invincible?" That's the extra tier.

I would prefer this if they made the core shipping product (the only part I actually care about) cheaper. I've never liked their bundled approach. But it looks like they're just going to increase the cost of everything else instead.

I would prefer they brought back the actual shipping part. Not this $169/yr for “best effort 3-10 days depending on our mood” they want me to pay for.
