Exactly, of course there a correlation between the two but they must have gotten to a point where Prime Video sign-ups don't boost their regular Prime user base anymore, so they had to do something about Prime Video operating at a net loss.

As i said before, Prime Video was never intended to be a "free" addition to regular Prime forever, this is something everyone should have seen coming.

Thanks for your kind words, to have an actual debate about this is all i wanted instead of reading the same, undifferentiated bullshit that seems to take over Lemmy more and more...
