> Seriously how would it look if Amazon turned down a company because they were competing? It would be an admission of defeat and weakness for AZ. That's not how an "apex predator" thinks.

It looked shitty when it happened with Amazon and Apple

Could you elaborate on what happened? I don't know about this.

I think it's referring to them removing the AppleTV from amazon.com as well as not supporting playback of Amazon Video on the AppleTV https://www.wired.com/2015/10/amazon-apple-tv-chromecast/

The latter decision has been reversed now though https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/05/amazons-prime-video-app-is...

Also, it isn't really Apple's fault for not building an Amazon video app, is it? I mean, it's not like they denied them access to the App Store.

I found this to be really stupid behavior of Amazon. Seemed like they only wanted to push their competing product (Fire TV).

It's good they figured things out, though. A Prime Video app was announced at WWDC.
