> Prime is an odd one though since nobody subscribes to Prime Video specifically

Speak for yourself. I live outside the US, and can't get any Amazon Prime or free delivery.

I subscribe to Amazon Prime Video for The Grand Tour and other Amazon exclusive video-content.

Yes, it's a small catalogue, but 4K Prime costs me 1/3 of what 1080p Netflix costs, so I'm OK with that.

Fair enough, I was actually unaware that you could subscribe to prime separately, but it makes sense. Either way, the GP did mention specifically "100 million US subscribers", in which case those are all people who get it for free with their Prime subscription, compared to Netflix who are people subscribing specifically for the content.
