It's Amazon. They have the money. People really don't understand that there is a WORLD of difference in how wealthy Amazon is vs something like Netflix or HBO/WB.

If Bezos really wants the show to run, it will. It's basically just being used as a motor for the streaming service. Which is just a motor for the rest of Prime.

Nothing to do with him liking LotR. It's about Amazon's capacity to eat losses in the short term to drive long-term growth.
