I've greatly curtailed my purchases via Amazon over the last couple years...I've grown weary of Bozo's relentless push to dominate the online shopping space, plus I'm willing to pay a few extra bucks to support a smaller retailer while poking him in the eye.

However, I kept my Prime membership primarily for two reasons - Prime Video and Amazon Music. For $150/year (or whatever the current fee is), one gets access to bzillions of movies/docs/old TV shows, etc., most for "free" or a nominal fee, and access to bzillions of albums in a format that would make Spotify blush (I can even listen in the car or the basement). It feels worth it.

Now YouTube, you say, has tons of content as well. I agree; just finished watching five seasons of "The Repair Shop", some 200 episodes (at least) there, and the definition quality of the stream is very good.

I'll be honest, between Prime and Youtube, one could likely do away with the pay-TV schtick. I haven't gone that route yet, but I edge closer and closer.
