Why not? I'm only using the free shipping, deals and Twitch Prime and I think that's worth a measely 70 bucks a year.

I'm not using Amazon Prime, and if I had to pay 79€ per year for what you're using it for, I would say it's not OK unless I bought a lot of stuff from Amazon. To me, it seems that there's exactly two ways Amazon Prime could offer good value to anyone: buying lots of stuff so you save on shipping, or consuming a lot of music/video through Amazon. This just increases the barrier for Amazon Prime to be worthwhile.

Through Twitch Prime alone I get 60€ of value in Twitch subs. Add to that the ingame goodies and yes I order a lot from amazon. This year alone I ordered 44 items. I do get quite a bit of value, also 69€ a year is nothing.
