Regardless of your point, they could have made a pretty good profit by charging extra for this, which they chose not to do.

Agreed. Amazon are more than pleased with the number of new subscribers this has generated, and so the experience is likely to encourage them.

The difficulty they have is that they see an uptick in Prime subscriptions at this time of year anyway, as people do Christmas shopping. Though the level of data analysis they can do is absolutely frightening ... they know if you stopped watching something part way through, or fast-forwarded, down to the second, so I guess they can combine number of new subs with number of new subs streaming, and new subs who don't cancel on 1st January.
