Mark my words...Amazon is going to experiment with tiering off Prime programs like cable. Want "The Boys?" or "Invincible?" That's the extra tier.

    Meanwhile, I'm over here, keeping my money and watching whatever TF I want in higher def and no ads — for free. Fuck you, Amazon.

    I would prefer this if they made the core shipping product (the only part I actually care about) cheaper. I've never liked their bundled approach. But it looks like they're just going to increase the cost of everything else instead.

    Samesies. Didn't give two shits when they bundled Amazon prime with video and such. Easy decision of my digital existence was dropping prime soon as they announced the ads and tiered payments.

    Probably. The industry is still trying to figure out pricing, and the cost of making content isn't matching the cost consumers are willing to pay for it.
