Prime Video was nice, but I don't like the move with including ads. Since they fucked me over as a linux user by using dumb DRM, I don't really miss it.
Shipping: same as the author. I will likely get used to increased wait time. Shipping was never my main use case.
I will miss my free monthly twitch subscription. So I will likely not support my favorite streamer anymore (via twitch sub at least).
I'll see how it goes. But fuck the industry for their ad-ridden shit tour. I will rip any service out of my life that tries that bullshit.
Prime sub is the only thing keeping me from cancelling, I watch Kitboga exclusively and paying for the yearly sub is almost as much as paying for prime.
The Prime shipping isn't really any faster most of the time, in my experience. I don't bother with paying for Prime but once in awhile they offer it for free and I'll take the offer and order a few things.
