Prime is the most complicated and bloated streaming service. It’s hard to know what’s included, what’s free, what you have to rent, and etc. I’ll never understand how they can maintain any share of the market with how confusing their product is to the average person. If they allowed Amazon users to reduce their prime costs by cutting out the video service, hardly anyone would use the service.
At least Freevee was clear. If you can tolerate the ads, the content is free. Now that it’s being absorbed, it’s just going to make an already complicated service more complicated.
“Oh! We can watch this movie! Oh wait it’s a 3.99 charge to rent. Don’t I already pay for prime?” Etc etc etc.
Prime video survives because it’s bundled in with free shipping and several other included services. I couldn’t imagine paying for prime video in its current form if I had to pay extra for it.
It really is confusing to me considering the amount of money they put into things like Lord of the Rings and Wheel of Time. They’re obviously investing in the platform. But at the same time, it’s designed in a way that makes it wildly painful to use.
