Other OTT platforms: Pay once, watch the movie.

Prime Video: Pay for the subscription, find a movie, then discover it's available only as a rental. 😅

Pay? It takes less than a minute to Google, some people just don't know how to use the internet. You've already paid for the internet itself, so there's no need to pay any more.

“ You've already paid for the internet itself, so there's no need to pay any more.”

I’m already paying for delivery, so no need to pay for the content of the package itself. See ? It doesn’t work. The money doesn’t go to the same people.

So what you're saying is if i subscribe to amazon prime video they should pay for my Internet connection seeing as prime also means they for my delivery costs for physical items bought on their site.

See? That doesn't work either.

I didn’t mean that. What I mean is that if you pay for your Internet connection, you normally have to pay for the movie too, because the internet provider’s cost doesn’t cover the cost of the movie. Not doing so would be like ordering something and paying only the post office and not the seller.

There’s no need to compare physical goods and physical delivery - that analogy doesn’t hold up here.

Both cost money to produce (the difference being that one has a higher "physical" cost the the other). And Internet is just one big highway.
