Sure, but pointing out that this strategy of carpet pulling isn’t the best consumer feeling is valid. And, um, Prime isn’t free.

Not what they pointed out though. It’s just the usual, mindless big corp rant you can’t escape on here.

Existing Prime users got all this content without additional charges for years, that’s what I meant when I said free but you probably know that. If you think that’s a sustainable way to keep producing content for billions of dollars, it’s very naive imo.

But feel free to point out what would have been a better strategy and maybe actually start a discussion
