    It wasn’t “tacked on” because Amazon is generous. They did the math and decided it would help them make more profit by selling more Amazon prime memberships.

    No one feels they are owed. They feel it is not worth it to pay for ads.

    How can it be a free trial if you’re paying for a membership? Just to make them more money by watching ads?

    Your comment sounds like something a marketing team would say.

      But my point stands. It was added as a bonus. It’s not owed, it wasn’t apart of the deal signed with Amazon. You’re paying for a membership it comes with faster or free shipping and a guarantee of those two things. It has nothing to do with the streaming service

        It has everything to do with the streaming service. Because they can’t sell as many prime memberships without it.

        It’s not a bonus. They weren’t selling as many memberships as they wanted so they had to make the deal better by adding the service.

        No streaming service. No membership.
