IMO, Amazon is awful at UI design across the board--including the core shopping experience.

It's a feature not a bug, familiarity is the feature. It never massively changes on purpose.

I watch some shows on Amazon Prime Video despite the shitty UI because they are great but it does mean that I do no discovery through the app.

I don't think its a revenue generator for them, I think its we have to have X. Music, video, etc. Look at Audiable, still exists kind of outside of Amazon.com

If they really want to make it into a thing, it cannot be within amazon.com. Call it something else, rip out and make it into a service not an addon to prime.

I kinda get that. But why not just tidy that UI up, and make it a good viewing experience and who knows maybe more of us will watch the seasons they have available and rent/purchase the ones that aren't. Instead of the car wreck of a UI experience

It works well enough if you’re just playing content you already have and not searching.
