Pay more attention when using the site. The big obvious buttons to
use to progress an order also tend to sign you up to Prime. Look for
the the much smaller, just text (no "button" graphic) that doesn't...


Jim has a history of whining about anything and everything. He never
accepts responsibility for his errors.

OK smart arses....lets hear how many other people have been signed up by
amazon prime...be honest now and don't be a liar like brian reay ......

They use a user interface design technique called "dark patterns" - its
designed to lead you thorough the path *they* would rather you follow...

You see much the same on many sites when you get the popup relating to
the EU cookie directive or GDPR disclaimers. Its all very quick and easy
to click through giving consent to whatever, but takes more clicks, and
more concentration to opt out. Also, agree and they won't ask again.
disagree, and they will ask again in a week etc.
