I think it is gone.  I "resigned" my Amazon Prime membership, as shipping is now so slow that it no longer confers any advantages.

It is really disappointing.

I never saw the value in Prime to begin with, and sometimes it seems like I'm the only one out there who doesn't have it. I already get free shipping, I just wait until I need enough stuff to qualify. The only advantage Prime offers as far as I can see is faster shipping and I don't care about that. It would be cheaper to just pay for faster shipping on the occasional order where I'm in a hurry.

I've reached pretty much the same conclusion.  The benefits of Prime shipping were:  (1) faster, (2) no need to wait for $25 limit, i.e. faster again, (3) no need to care who the seller is or what warehouse it comes from. 

TBH I think it at least paid for itself, for me.

But now that (1) is no more, I've reached the conclusion that two out of three is not worth the $120 cost...  as you said, you can just pay for the shipping out of that budget on the occasions when you really do need it fast...

I've also found I like eBay better in these crisis times.   At times of crisis, the thousands of little guys seem to collectively do a better job at keeping up than the over-optimized big guys!

I use Prime as my only source of movies outside of anything that might just happen to be on YT. I don't have a TV subscription, Netflix etc. Prime Video provides the variety I need since I rarely watch much anyway. If I had Netflix (I used to) it would either be a waste of money or a waste of my time or both. Generally, the programming doesn't interest me.
