They've got plenty of great content. A good roster of original shows, lots of classic and new movies and on and on. The fact that you can rent/buy new releases before they are typically on Netflix or Hulu, is a major bonus of the service if you ask me.

Maybe its just harder to parse through then. Whenever I go through the prime videos, I have a hard time finding good content to watch outside of Amazon created series. Where as with netflix, lots of good new, exclusive stand up content and newer videos such as disney classics.

Amazon outside of its own created content seems to lack.

As far as I'm concerned Netflix and Amazon Video are pretty much interchangeable except for exclusive content where Netflix wipes the floor with Amazon.

I've exceedingly rarely been able to find someone on Netflix I wanted to watch when it was not on Amazon. Amazon actually I'd say is the better experience for me, since they'll typically have an option to rent/buy content that they don't have in their unlimited library, where Netflix you're just SoL.
