I assumed Prime Video is just a loss leader to get you subscribing. Isn't the real benefit to them that they've convinced you to pay for next day delivery in advance, so you are discouraged from shopping around and end up spending way more at Amazon?
- orra 4y agoI mean, yes, prepaying for delivery encourages people to buy more things from Amazon. But that's not anticompetitive. What's IMO anticompetitive is the vertical bundling of these unrelated services, especially because they're so big in commerce. You speculate that Prime Video is a loss leader, and that would make it an even bigger an anticompetitive threat to the rest of the streaming market.
