    Amazon Prime launched for R59 per month in SA

    Amazon online marketplace growth in South Africa

    Also when do we get Prime for delivery ? I miss impulse buying things and having them delivered for free. I’m being financially responsible now and it feels like the Great Depression.

    The algo will show them to me if I like it or not. Ever done a fresh install on a new PC and headed over to YouTube without logging in? If you want to know what the average person is consuming, look at what the algorithm delivers by default.

    Jury in Los Angeles finds Meta, YouTube negligent in social media addiction trial
