Do your part and cancel if ya have it

Yes, no point of complaining about ads if you keep your subscription.

Harder to do if you use Prime for other things. I've never watched a single Amazon video but I'm trying to source other purchase options locally so I can finally cancel the Prime shipping, which was saving our household money over the years. That said, if we can avoid it in the future we'll stay off Amazon.

I pay yearly for Amazon Prime, and I still need the other stuff it provides.

I would cancel just Prime Video if I could… but I can’t.

It doesn't provide anything. They already offer free shipping on orders above $25. If you insist on buying from them, just wait to buy stuff until you need $25 worth, then check out.
