How would they show ads to me if I don't use their services?
The TV side of Amazon Prime is functionally free. And its not like I'm going to cancel the service when what I really use it for is mail-order retail shopping.
So I'll pirate their smattering of good shows and they'll tell advertisers I watch their stupid ads. Everyone gets to play pretend and the wheels of commerce will continue to turn.
