The counterpoint is this:



on this chart, lower numbers are better, making TGT a pretty good investment.

Interesting point that Amazon's goal is to leverage media content to sell Prime subscriptions and then sell people more stuff on their website, the media content attracts people into the Amazon online retail ecosystem. If the show doesn't make money on it's own merit, it may survive based on it's ability to create loyal customers for the online retail business. Case in point - me, I signed up for Prime because of TGT. I'm well aware that I could have torrented it but I figured what the hell, might as well get all of the other Prime benefits and not have to eff around DL'ing TGT torrents. Now I get free 2 day shipping which makes me more likely to shop more often online with Amazon.
