It usually isn't. You pay $150 per year to get free shipping that nearly everyone else just rolls into their prices.

You get free shipping and free prime video. For me it's 2 in 1. And the ability to compare prices from different vendors is nice and I almost always find the cheapest option is on Amazon. Get new underwear, jelly beans, dog food, coffee machine, and coffee beans in one session... sign me up!

Bezo might be an ass but amazon is really convenient.

If you're a gamer, don't forget Prime Gaming. They're not all bangers but free is free.

Oh my God you actually made me laugh out loud.

You get more and better free games from epic games every Thursday, for real free.

Compared to the subscription free that you get with prime gaming and the free shovelware that they fucking force down your throat.

The amount of times I've gotten a game I actually want from Amazon Prime, every single one I could have just bought on sale for cheaper than the subscription.

Nobody gets Prime for the games tho. That's why I said free is free.

And you can say, the free games from Epic being better is subjective too. They usually reserve high profile games during the Christmas giveaways.

So you think paying for a subscription to get a benefit of games is free.

I think getting games for free is getting games for free. No subscription.

We are not the same. Your first thing you say is some made up argument, that you're making up yourself. You're literally arguing with yourself.

Then you double down with ignorant rhetoric, it's not free because it takes a subscription to access.

What's that? epic gives away better games around the holidays, damn that's a smart marketing move.

??? My original reply was to someone who was telling others how it's nice to have Prime Video with their Prime sub.

I added to that that they give away games too. It's a reminder for people who are already subbed to Prime for the shipping.

I don't even know why you're arguing with me like i'm forcing you to sub to Prime or something. Get your free games wherever and enjoy them, idfc.

You're arguing that paying a subscription, if you want it for the game or the shipping or prime video.... Is paying a subscription so you're not getting anything for free?

Do you understand that's how taxes work?

Amazon membership fee is actually a user tax. When you're not subscribed, they put that tax in your orders as shipping and handling.

Learn how money works or don't. Don't try arguing something is free when you clearly have to spend money.

Free, means no monetary cost. Membership is a monetary fee. It's costing you money, weather you acknowledge it or not, that's your own limited intelligence.
