I'd probably start reconsidering my subscription at about $150.... maybe $200. I'd say the shipping benefits alone are worth $75ish per year. Then there's the video content, which I make use of about as much as any of the other big streaming services (Netflix, HBO, Hulu). The difference for me is that I only subscribe to the others for short periods of time, to watch the new stuff. I remain a Prime subscriber year round.

As for "corporate greed", what exactly is that? Amazon has a legal and (arguably) moral responsibility to maximize return to its owners (shareholders). That's the whole point of a business. So, as a business owner myself, I applaud Amazon's efforts to do its basic job. It has made a lot of people a lot of money over the last 2 decades.
