> because I don’t pay any extra for it with my Prime subscription.
I see their advertising is effective. The price of Prime was even increased recently to help fund video production.

Amazon Prime price is still $79CAD as it has been since I signed up and I definitely get my money's worth. I actually didn't even realize it came with Prime Video when I signed up. Additionally, I make use of Amazon Photos unlimited backup for ~250GB of the raw files from my camera, any other cloud backup service would cost a similar amount every year.
I'm still a member, at least for now, but have been through two price increases: first from USD $79/yr to $99, and again recently from $99 to $119. I'm glad it works for you, but I doubt I'll renew this year due to the increased price, the horrible ways Amazon treats its employees, and the way the Amazon marketplace itself has become a wasteland of counterfeit products.
[] Not even talking about the warehouses, but literally every SWE friend of mine who has worked for them has a horror story.
Advertising or not, you can't get Prime without VoD, so if GP likes the deal just for shipping, or for shipping and music, then fine.
Personally I have it mainly for shipping, and get good value out of that (especially since here it's next day by default, some items same day), and stream occasionally.
I meant advertising in the sense that GP now thinks of Prime Video as a $0 extra and not Prime as a bucket that contains all these things and is priced accordingly. In reality all Prime customers are paying for Prime Video even if they don’t use it.
