It is worth noting that major studios (or the BBC in Fleabag's case) make all of those shows and Amazon buys them.
But I still agree with the general point that it's unfair to argue Amazon "beats the creativity" out of productions it deals with.

Totally agree. I don't watch much streaming these days but from my limited experience Amazon and HBO are the only ones where i can tune in to a random new show and have a better than even chance it's not total pap.

Yeah I'm not saying Netflix never has good stuff, just that it's few and far between in comparison to the others I mentioned.

I enjoyed the series about the Romanovs
I disagree with your premise entirely. I see them trying to unseat HBO as the resource for all the pop culture shows you remember twenty years from now.
I definitely believe them to be bolder than Netflix for their breadth of original libraries.
That might be a little bold, but that’s what I see them trying to do.
