we buy a lot from amazon and have the prime membership. not a scam from my perspective. the speed we receive items is phenomenal, and the streaming video also gets used often. we have no cable tv, so all our tv entertainment comes via amazon prime or our netflix subscription. being in a major metro area, some items ordered on prime will arrive the same day. driving 6 miles round trip to the store can be a hour+ endeavor with the traffic around here so amazon is a time saver. returns are super easy too. we have an amazon locker just down the street from our house where I can dump packages to be returned.
