It was reported in The FT reported that WBD is in discussions with other platforms including Amazon Prime, Virgin Media, and EE about Max.

I mean niche apps tailored to specific interests rather than generic entertainment. They are usually fairly pricey so your budget will be healthier if you avoid them.

News of a possible Amazon tie up seems to be gathering momentum.

It's already available as Prime Video channel in US , Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, France and Spain, most recently it was added to Prime Video channels in Sweden and The Netherlands so seems like a possibility in UK , Germany and Italy.

No real difference to say Apple TV+ via Prime Video channels which launched yesterday.

True. It does mean, however, that it is easier for for potential viewers to subscribe. The Prime Video app is more likely to be available on devices with apps curated by the provider / device manufacturer etc than a stand-alone app.

Indeed, lots of people will be unaware of thousands niche apps is they don't have a dedicated streaming device. For example, you could get Manilow TV for £6.99 / month with videos of Barry Manilow's concerts over the decades.
Personally, I'd be more likely to pay that not to have to watch but to each his own.

I guess it depends whether you like shopping channels.

When i read this i thought amazon, MAX and Paramount were partnering up to do a combined app. Imagine that. Pigs could fly tho!
