I wish there was a version of Prime that had all the unrelated fluff removed I only want the store features, I don't care about the rest, and when they keep raising the price to subsidize their content creation it makes me have to re-decide every time if it's still worth the cost. |

A lot of items still have free shipping. Amazon will give very pessimistic delivery date estimates and try to upsell Prime at every opportunity, but packages still get here fairly quickly. More often than not, an order arrives in 2 or 3 days even without Prime, almost always faster than the estimate given at checkout.
Ymmv, but it seems clear to me that Prime is more about manipulating purchasing behavior to buy more and the add-ons like video and grocery delivery than about the advertised free 2 day shipping.
