Is it really a direct competitor though? I mean it is in the "streaming video" sense. But Amazon Prime is not really in the business of producing original content whereas Netflix is.

Amazon Prime (Video) is backing "The Grand Tour" as well as many others -- they're definitely getting into producing original content.

"Hand of God", "Transparent", "The Man in the High Castle", and a whole bunch more.

A relatively large proportion of what I watch on Prime is Amazon Studios content. Largely because there are more interesting series than I have time to watch, and so it's easy to pick the content that's already included in the Prime subscription I'd still have just for the delivery first, and relegate content I have to pay extra for for later (that said, I do end up paying for quite a few movies).
