Even though I submit great work, I end up getting less work done and as a result, end up looking less competent than some of my peers.
Obviously, Amazon has the resources and connections to push out to a larger audience immediately and I'd be surprised to see them "lose" given the leverage of the deal -- Amazon is offering this VOD-service on top of Amazon Prime, so customers are getting more value.
The coming months will tell if the cost will eventually be passed on to the consumer in the form of higher Amazon Prime fees or by branching the VOD service into something new and independent.
