Why Amazon is doing this is the question.
Of course, this could just be a pretext for Amazon to further bilk its customers.
After all, that seems to bewhat everybody else is doing.
All of that said, Amazons excuse for raising everybodys rates is sorta funny.
Even if thats the case, Im not entirely sure what its talking about.
It quite often isnt anywhere near good.
Look, nobody asked Amazon to spend a quarter of a billion dollars on a TV show about elves.
It might be helpful if Amazon learned to stay in its lane.
The platforms only real advantage over a service like Tubi has been that it doesnt have ads.
Well, it didnt.
