Top publishing CEO says people are reading more because streaming services are too expensive: ‘You’d get 2 books every month’ for the cost of Netflix https://finance.yahoo.com/news/top-publishing-ceo-says-people-074444013.html via @YahooFinance

That is nice, but if I go to my public library, I get even more books for free. Cost less than the bookstore AND Netflix.

End of an era. More and more I'm losing reasons to keep using Amazon. Prime never ships stuff in 2 days anymore, half the stuff is weird fake knockoff dropshipped garbage, it's no longer the cheapest price for everything, and returns for pick-up stopped being free.
