They charge for Prime (Delivery) and until now, Prime Video was included in that price. I hate Amazon as much as the next guy (don't even haven an account) but all i read from you guys is exactly this kind of unconstructive rambling.

What the fuck do you expect? That a listed mega corporation just goes like "Oh you know what we make billions, what does it even matter if one of our services doesn't make any money, let's just keep going, not like we have shareholders to answer to".

Remember when people used to pay 5 bucks to rent a VHS for ONE DAY and no one lost their mind about it? Without constantly whining about Blockbusters profit margin?

But thanks for clearing up that Amazon is a billionaire owned company, only read that for the 500th time this week.
