How about remove all these extra things I’m paying for when I just want shipping and cut the price?

that's what they're working towards... removing the extra prime benefits.
but you'll pay more just for that by the time they're finished.

I suppose to hear them say it, they'd say this is how they're holding the line on the core use. Shrinkflation instead of inflation, so... Yay?

Amazon Prime Music already had a major enshittification in its past. It used to be that it was essentially a catalog of music that you could listen to and make playlists and such. Then they changed it so that you couldn't exactly listen to the songs you wanted to, and instead you had to listen to the Amazon playlists or stations and your only real controls were the shuffle button, as I doubt the "like" button really did anything.
