Not really?

Amazon Prime has a distinct library that streams free with Prime, and then basically everything else on earth is available for rental streaming. They don't advertise something as an Amazon Prime streaming exclusive and then make you pay an over-the-top fee.

Not that Amazon is a good company in any way, they are anti-competitive and should be broken up, but they don't do this specific thing.

They still make you pay an additional fee to watch certain content. I'm not sure how that's different from what Disney are doing here?

Amazon Prime clearly set out the terms and expectations for its service in advance in a way that Disney did not. And the things that Amazon charges a rental / purchase fee for are not Amazon Prime exclusives the way that Mulan (and most other Disney+ content) is a Disney exclusive, they're things that you can get access to through a wide variety of other streaming rental services around the Internet. In fact, I'm pretty sure you can rent those things without paying for an Amazon Prime account. So those are some key differences.

+1000000 What Disney is doing and what Amazon Prime does have some similarities, but they're really not the same at all.

Amazon Prime is not primarily a steaming service. It's a delivery service and they give you (the customer) some free content to stream alongside it. I don't think they're comparable in this way.

I think they do hold out the streaming part as one of the major reasons to subscribe

But, yes, the value proposition is fundamentally different

[(Anonymous)]

Fair enough.

[(Anonymous)]

That's distinct though. There's stuff that streams free with Prime, and there's stuff you can pay to rent _whether you have Prime or not_. There's nothing, as far as I'm aware, that you have to pay a Prime subscription fee _and_ an extra charge on top to watch. They're two separate things.

(Eurgh, I can't believe I'm defending Amazon. But at least in this, they're not as execrable as Disney.)

What about the extra channels to watch? For example, if i want to watch dr. who i need to buy a subscription to the BBC channel.

It's like having cable and on top of that are pay-per-view movies. Or it's like having TV in your home and also a Blockbuster next door.

There's the stuff that's included in the service, and then you have the option to rent additional stuff that is not part of their service but is accessible via their service. Yes, it means that if you search for something, you will most likely get a result... but you may only have the option to rent or buy it because Amazon will always happily sell you stuff even if it's not part of their own streaming library. It was never Amazon Prime content in the first place, but you can still get it through Amazon because Amazon is a store with a streaming service/production company on the side.
