For me, I think it's that Amazon is generally not quite as good as it used to be, and Prime has suffered along with it, but the Prime features aren't specifically getting worse.
For example, although I experience about the same general shipping times now as before, the quality of the last mile has gone down dramatically...boxes left out in the rain when then could be put under a porch roof, boxes deformed by being crammed into a mailbox (not by USPS), etc. This isn't really a Prime thing, but people who do pay for Prime mostly for the improved shipping (like me) tend to notice this more.
The only other feature of Prime I really care about is Prime Video. Between that and the shipping benefits, the yearly subscription cost still pays for itself many times over.
So, even if Prime really is getting worse, it's still a good value.
