Hmmm...at least the trailer seems okay-ish (I've seen much worse). It still looks pretty bad but its a live action so regardless, its probably going to be pretty shite.

They are shutting the paid channel down and moving everything to simply requiring a Prime subscription. Which is much better for the consumers. But now I'm wondering how they can afford all that, with everything that a Prime subscription give you nowadays. I guess they can do it due to quite a few people who buy a Prime subs but never actually use their services except for a few times a year ordering off Amazon.

If I remember correctly from a Amazon employee I talked to in their tech department, they actually lose money per Prime membership but the point was to get people use to their service ecosystem. Some users get so accustomed to it that they end up spending even more on Amazon for conveniences sake.

And then there are UK's student memberships. Half the price of a full phat prime membership (£39 vs £79) while being able to access all the important things such as prime delivery (2 hour & next day ect. are all included), music, video, pantry, basically everything that's included with the full phat membership but the functionality of sharing the membership. 

 

If they're already losing money on the standard membership, I wonder how much more they're losing on student memberships  (at least in the UK as US's student memberships doesn't seem to include everything in prime).

Aw man, Batoto is going the way of the Dodo... The only place that didn't put malware infected ads or other annoying BS like floating ads or popups, while actually giving credits to the scanlating groups... The coming days will be dark indeed. Heres hoping a "clone" or an alternative pop up, like what happened after Nyaa shut down.

If I remember correctly the staff are backing up the whole website and plan to launch a new one soon.

You can sort of ballpark it really... its different per person. here in the US least from when ive ordered from amazon they ship smaller under 12 inch boxes so usually reg shipping for a normal person is about 10-12 bucks. amazon being a business and having a deal with the postal service they likely get somewhere along half price give or take a buck or 2. standard usps shipping through usps also is usually 2 days which most people overlook, tho where amazon fucks up is when they dont ship items fast enough and end up having to essentially overnight which probably costs them about 12 bucks for a package under 12 inches.

 

All that info lines up with what others have said online. you order about 10-12 packages from amazon then you hit that break even point for your membership given that you pay actual full price of $100 for the membership in the US. so if your paying $50 for the student one then id assume its half the deliveries so 5-6 shipments. anything after that will likely cost amazon about 5-12 bucks per package thats 12 inches or less. now those little package bags... those are cheap af maybe 4 per package. I wont include anything like prime movies and such cause those are cloud services and arguably free and dont cost anything

*cough cough* Licensing of shows/songs/movies, actual production (i.e. Grand Tour).

Yes, the servers that hosts prime video and music isn't that expensive but the content on the other hand is expensive, very.

Does that mean that Violet Evergarden isn't living up to the incredible hype it has attained?  

[Damascus]

Hey, just finished a marathon of gurren lagann, the first episodes opening "battle" is weirding me out.

 

Like, it's not followed through on at all.  It seems to be simon talking to (older evolved boota?) On the bridge in a tactical universe spanning battle, what we get is an admittably interesting mech fight

 

Plz send help
