Comment on Amazon demands 30% share of ad revenue from TV networks’ apps

Surely those broadcasters will pull their streams (it’s not like they’re not already hurting), FireTV will get a reputation of having restricted access to broadcast TV, some people will live with it and some will buy a smart TV and not worry about Amazon any more…

Pretty much. I currently use fire sticks with Kodi side loaded for TV because it's a pretty cheap decent android TV device. If it became restricted in this way such that apps I do want to use go away, I'd just buy a generic Android TV device (or side load them).
This is just another of the long line of bad ideas big business seem to be having to try to get every last cent out of a product or service they can. It's too far and we can easily avoid it.

I have the same setup with a rpi 4 and I’ve been impressed with it. Amazon may just feed the rpi shortage… Damn.
