Trivia / Amazon Studios

• Bad Export for You: While it's better than No Export for You, content for the global site often takes longer to appear (shows usually appear almost immediately after premier in the US in countries with a dedicated Prime site, while for the global site content can take up to half a year to appear), if at all. Notably, shows like Bookaboo and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood are only available to countries with a dedicated Prime site, countries stuck with the global site are SOL.
• Friendly Enemy: While both Amazon and Netflix have competing streaming services (Amazon Prime vs Netflix), and both are heavy-hitters in distributing original content, and are always going to be in an endless war for bidding for films and TV Shows (comes with the territory), they don't exactly hate each other outside of being business rivals. Netflix (except for content delivery, which is housed in Netflix-maintained boxes throughout Internet backbone providers) uses all data center operations for the streaming service on Amazon's cloud services, which is rather amusing. Legally speaking, Amazon can't turn Netflix away for wanting to use their data servers, as that would be seen as an anti-competitive practice. Only the DVD rental business still uses a physical data center. And to top it off, Amazon Studios went worldwide 11 months later, which many saw as a bid to play catch up with Netflix.
