I've been running relays at home for over a year. The only sites I have trouble with are Monoprice and Apple Support Forums. I don't have any trouble watching Amazon videos.

How do these various organizations know you are running a relay?

Due to the nature of the tor network, relays aren't a secret. They need to be public so clients can independently choose which to use.
You then get people who operate lists of all relays e.g. https://www.dan.me.uk/tornodes
There's probably a good reason for using a "full" list, but I can't think of one off the top of my head. That site at least offers both and just about explains the difference.
Various organisations will deny their services to you just for running a relay, despite the fact that no proxied traffic will exit your network and connect to them. I hope that it is incompetence, it's often unsurprisingly difficult to contact anyone who's able to deal with the issue.
Amazon Video is a high profile example.
