pay an additional monthly fee. I predict a LOT of blowback, but who knows whether Amazon is capable of getting the message? The problem with companies that are allowed to become a near-monopoly...

I like being able to get critical items delivered promptly, but if anyone else has been watching the prices and comparison shop for items you routinely order, there is a definite trend toward passing those delivery fees on to the consumer regardless.

The exorbitant increase in the annual and monthly fees for Prime in 2022 and then the expectation consumers will pay more monthly for Prime Video? Umm, no. What is sad is that by the time consumers figure out they have had enough of Amazon and Walmart subscriptions and online price gouging, there will be no local options left.
