Amazon's New Netflix Competitor Is A Bad Deal For Most People

The benefit is that you can cancel any time you want, and are only committed on a month-to-month basis. This might serve as a good move for Amazon, allowing people to dip their toes into the Prime water before upgrading to the yearly plan. It also serves to underscore how great a deal Prime is.
