#12I'd really like for regulators to look at Apple and Amazon and their interest in the film business. Both of these are propped up on the profits of unrelated business units and offered below cost to viewers. This behavior has led to existing film studios folding and getting bought out by these giants. Now they're jacking up prices to healthy levels. They literally just ate an entire unrelated industry because of their…
Can you elaborate on this a bit? The pricing for the services seem to be in-line with the rest of the industry[1], and I'm not aware of any "block buster" TV Shows or Movies released on either Prime Video nor AppleTV (in fact, Prime Video has one of the biggest TV failures of all time[2] under it's belt, titled "Citadel"). > This behavior has led to existing film studios folding and getting bought out by these giants…
Ted Lasso was an AppleTV+ production. One of the biggest streaming success stories, right up there with your stranger things, etc.
The Boys was an Amazon production. Also a huge success story.

#15> The Rings of Power... now in HDR10+ for ad-tier users. I'm not sure even the power of Dolby Vision could make Rings of Power worth watching, though.
This is the real problem with Prime Video. The first party content is terrible .
Turns out gobbling up IP and hitting the print button isn't such a great business model.
Also see: Disney.

Prime Video wasn't a loss leader in order to jack up prices later, it was a loss leader for Bezos to date actresses.
I have no idea how true this is, but it's 100% funny even if not true, so YAY for funny at the very least!

#17I’m letting my Prime lapse for the first time in well over a decade. I don’t watch Prime Video much, but this rubbed me the wrong way when they’re making money hand-over-fist on top of recent Prime increases.
I don't use Prime Video much either but this was the straw that broke the camels back and made me really consider the value I was getting from Prime.
I realized I was actively avoiding buying from Amazon for multiple fears.
Lately fear of getting absolute junk drop shipped from China.
I didn't trust them to get anything to me that was sensitive. I had a hard drive delivered in a static bag and one single bubble.
They still do OK if you have a specific brand or model in mind. Despite HNs insistent that all they do is deliver counterfeit goods, I've never gotten any, just lately cheap junk or occasionally clearly used items being new.
And Prime doesn't even mean two or one day delivery anymore, just free shipping and we'll get it to you when we get it to you.
I'll save the 100+ dollars and just pick up from target when I need something quick.

This is not even remotely true. Patriot is amazing.
Also 'The Boys' is quite popular, 'Bosch' and 'Reacher' are very popular.. there are a few others that do well. If you are old enough think back to the haydays of the network television evening programming. There were hits, there were misses, there was tons of stuff in between. For every 'Friends' there is a 'Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place'.

There is no accounting for taste of course, but this show appears to have a 35% dislike vote fraction among Google users and 68% favorable on Metacritic. Which puts it objectively well below other Prime shows that I personally think are extremely bad, such as Reacher and Jack Ryan.
