Was one of the people who dropped it after the commercials were added. Started using our library instead and haven’t really missed the video streaming. I’ll log in via a browser every so often and get offered a free month or week of prime and immediately cancel. Was able to access prime day deals without paying for anything.

I use Kanopy through my library for free streaming. They have quite a bit of a selection too! Also there's Freegal music streaming, like Spotify, but free through the library.
