Way I see it, it's the other way around. I would never pay for the shipping service, but since it's included in the streaming subscription I guess I'll take it. I don't order from Amazon unless there's absolutely no alternative.
Recently, Amazon prime made a change. Prime video was included with Prime membership, ad free, for quite a while. Now, it has ads, UNLESS you pay something like an additional $5 a month. This occurred within the last 6-12 months now.

It's not free shipping, you're paying $140/year. Worth it to some, but if you don't order much it's worth cancelling to cut costs.
I paid Prime because Video was included. Just the shipping isn't worth the monthly fee to me.
