In response I’ve cancelled my Amazon prime.

Fakespot was doing the job Amazon has failed to do for years and was the only thing keeping me there.

Thanks Amazon for finally making this breakup a done deal.

I've posted a similar comment before, but on what basis do you trust fakespot? If they were being paid to promote or even outright manipulate the analysis how would we know? Or how would the be immune to the same review manipulation by sellers that Amazon is prone to? Why do you think we don't need a fakespot for fakespot too?

Man that's extreme. I wish I had the guts to do that. Good on you!

If you look at my post history the quality of products has been going down, and we (as a fam) have reduced our AZ spend from 10k/yr (literally buying everything from there) a few years ago down to about 500-1000/yr in the past year. Prime Video was a sticky factor, but wife's come to grips with saying goodbye to that as well.

I just hadn't made the call. This is what radicalized me.
