After Netflix, Amazon has arguably the best selection of content in a wide range of languages and genres. With the lockdown, the users in all ott platforms, including prime video, have increased a lot. And since the COVID situation hasn’t been resolved yet, the watch party feature can increase the subscribers on the platform even more.
