I thought maybe the OP had made a mistake,
but do Amazon Prime suddenly start charging for content that was previously included in the Amazon Prime price while a person is within their membership period? |

However over 700 new titles were added in June.
Shows and films do seem to come and go a lot. It would be nice for us to be given end dates. Sky on demand shows how long titles are available till. Amazon are generally able to list the expiry on the watchlist |

I don't know how old you are - the "since 1982-83" bit does suggest you're not a teenager. The younger generation arer heavily into streaming and the attitude there is different. But my peers are not (most of them are over 60) except for the odd You Tube music video.
And yes, sales of VHS recorders soared in the 80s. A survey of buyers when asked at time of purchase, more than 80% stated they would use it to record programmes for future viewing. When asked again 6 months later only 6% had done so. The rest had either recorded the progamme they were currently watching (why?) or used it to watch commercial videos. (The numbers are from memory so may not be totally correct - but the order of magnitiude is correct.) The users of these fora tend to be technophiles and, as such are a poor representative cross section of the populace. Try asking around, you may be surprised. And in general while all demos have seen a reduction in live linear viewing the drops been more due to near live timeshifting. |

Both restrict the number to what is financially viable within the subscription costs. Licensing movies and series costs money, so they can't have everything, and unless they drastically increase costs, they can't always put the latest shows in. They also can't license them forever, so after a period of time, some shows drop off, some new ones come in. In this case Netflix and Prime are no different. The only difference is, is that Prime also offers everything for sale and rent much like iTunes. So, once something does drop out of their subscription library, it is still available to rent or buy. It isn't as you ask that they suddenly start charging for something that was in their subscription - these shows were also available for rent and buying from Amazon, iTunes, Google, Vudu, MGo and all the rest even when it was up on Prime. |
