Re: Amazon is the Best
To your point, the only way Amazon is able to compete is to push its' own original programming. Although, anyone who does not recognize Amazon's prowess will be doing so at their detriment.

Re: Amazon is the Best
I just checked Amazon's Stock Price--at $ 846--the markets continue to have that sense of confidence--right?

@vnewman Wow, wow, wow! I haven't seen that update yet. I was pretty happy with one day delivery to an Amazon store.

Re: Amazon is the Best
@elizabeth Amazon is certainly interested in attracting new members and giving more to existing members. My kids watched their shows on VHS. I guess that market had no trouble shifting to streaming :D

Re: Amazon is the Best
@Michelle - I think you're 100% correct. Amazon doesn't have to focus everything on their OTT service - though it is really a pretty decent one - because they have other areas to get revenue from. I myself was a prime member for the shipping long before I ventured over to see what they had in their video selection. Now I've purchased more kids shows from them than I care to think about, added the HBO Channel to my subscription and we're on Amazon more than any other OTT service. (They have Wild Kratts!) And any time my kids aren't fighting over what show we should watch, I'm a happy camper. :-)

Re: Amazon is the Best
dcawrey - That probably is the long term plan, it's how big retailers work, from Walmart to Amazon -- their vendors get massive reach, but have to really squeeze margins if they want to work with them.
But today, I'm not sure Amazon is in a position to squeeze content producers. With Netflix throwing huge sums around for original content, but also channels like AMC, HBO and others, it's tough to push too hard. Certainly Amazon paid a bucket load more for The Grand Tour ($5.6 per episode) than the BBC did for Top Gear, essentially the same show. And of course, that includes production values, locations etc., but pretty sure Jeremy Clarkson made out like a bandit on the contract.

Re: Amazon is the Best
Not sure I would trust Amazon even though they say they work with everybody...
Even in the content space, the company is taking talent from traditional studios to pay less for content overall. You've got to be careful with this company, it competes with a lot of existing businesses.

Re: Amazon is the Best
@Adi I think Amazon is playing the long game with its Prime membership. They seem to be adding new features or more content all the time. Have you seen the Amazon stores? You can get one day delivery to an Amazon store with Prime. I think faster shipping coupled with original content and add-on channels is a good way to keep customers hooked into the Amazon ecosystem.
