I absolutely can afford them, but I'm canceling them purely on principle at this point.
My final straw was watching Fallout, when Amazon said "this program is ad-free thanks to this sponsor" and then not only showed an ad, but didn't even acknowledge that it was me paying them for the service, like I should be grateful to some stupid company for shoving their advertising in my face when I'm the one giving them my hard-earned money.
I rally enjoyed Fallout! I didn't see any ads. Might be because I won't give my money directly to Amazon.
Good call!
