Mark my words...Amazon is going to experiment with tiering off Prime programs like cable. Want "The Boys?" or "Invincible?" That's the extra tier.

Probably. The industry is still trying to figure out pricing, and the cost of making content isn't matching the cost consumers are willing to pay for it.

no one wants streaming exclusive content, it inherently feels lower quality, plus making it harder to generate a buzz and make the series feel worthwhile or pressing to watch
