That is not 2 separate buttons on the right, like I initially thought clicking through checkout.

Yet somehow you were still able to type two words. Clap, clap

We get what they're talking about: default selection being a subscription rather than just buying the item like you originally asked. Shady practice at best.

People read left to right correct? If you read correctly the first option you see is not to get prime. My point is the poster for some reason thought cancel anytime somehow meant that was the button to press...

However, the Prime option is deliberately colourful and placed next to the grey no-Prime option so the Prime option is the first thing you see. Then maybe you look back and see 'oh there's an option to continue without Prime'.
