What's the point of prime?

Seems like the free shipping and 2nd day shipping is all but a thing of the past.

Prime Video, Audible and deals.

A bunch of brands officially sell through Amazon and super fast shipping.

If you're in a metropolis - you get a lot of benefits, including 1 hour groceries.

Also free full resolution photo back ups.

(Prime video, but in Germany I feel there is only uninteressing films there)

It's interesting how without prime they tell me it takes one week to be sent (or some days), but then always after ordering correcting shipping date down, most often to the same as prime (which makes sense, holding back my order would only create costs to them).

Prime Video is worth the cost alone. Cheaper than Netflix.

Why'd you say free and 2-day shipping is a thing of the past? All my shipping from Amazon is free, and 2 day is the slowest it arrives usually. Mostly I get things next day, sometimes within 12 hours
