They ABSOLUTELY know and I bet they aren't going to make it public, because it goes against the narrative they want to push.

yeah... but... i mean, explain it to me in small words because i have a sinus infection and can't concentrate very well...
but... either it's profitable or it's not. if it's not, why are they dumping so much money into it? if they wouldn't lose any subscribers if they just dumped the video portion, why would they continue to fund it? i'm excluding bad investments like the rings of power, where they dropped like 4 billion or whatever obscene amount they paid for... even the shows that do well and people like (again, things like jack reacher, invincible, the terminal list) cost a bunch of money to make and while i'm glad they are making shows like that, it'd be a better business decision to stop all of it... right? so why don't they?

"Corporations buying cultural relevance"
The pure amount of shit there is to watch these days is staggering. It isn't shit for Amazon to piss away money on an IP that is very much so cemented in Western Fantasy Culture if they can just keep their name in your mouth. That MrBeast guy spends a ridiculous amount on his videos too and that's one youtube guy (and a team obviously).

You are implying that billion dollar companies are taking business advice from YouTubers and I'm honestly not sure if anything is more terrifying for our future

Are you city folks getting 2 day shipping from Prime? Everything here is pretty much a minimum of a week. Order it on Monday, it will come next Monday. Or maybe Tuesday. Or occasionally something takes a month for some reason, or they tell you it's coming in a week and then you get a notice saying "sorry, it's late" and it shows up in another week to 10 days. Pre-pandemic the two-day shipping even worked fairly well out in the boonies. Now forget about it but I hear about people in big cities getting stuff the same day they order.

I get same or next day shipping on pharmacy type stuff like Tums, bandaids etc but anything like electronics could take a week then keep being delayed. Really unreliable now.

Yes I’m getting most of the stuff I order same day if I order early enough in the day, otherwise I’m most likely getting it overnight and the package is at my door before 7am.

No I'm implying they know the importance of investing in content. Although with how much the 21 and under crowd watches YT they probably do have an indirect influence on all our media.

Mostly 1-2 day if it is advertised as such. Some items are Prime but still take forever, but they're usually telling you that upfront. Occasionally do still get the ones that should be here tomorrow that are next week, but I'd say it's rare.

it took a minute to track this down... it's all rumor and speculation. i had heard it through the rumor mill and everyone just seemed to be passing it along but didn't have a source. however, i found this, i think it's the origination of the rumor? basically chris gore (who seems to be fairly reliable, though he's not really in the leak industry) said “I heard from someone who has a contact at Amazon that – if you wanna know – that effectively, they’re going to be retooling,” he explained. “And [Payne and McKay] are more than likely… they’re not gonna be publicly fired, but their role will be reduced.”
so again, it's just rumor and speculation. i haven't seen any public statements confirming or denying so either they are still trying to figure out what to do about the showrunners and don't have an official statement to give, or they don't feel like responding to it. though, i think that's somewhat less likely because they've responded to a lot of the criticism on the show.
anyway, here's where the rumor originated, i linked the beginning of the conversation

‘The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power’ Sets All-Female Directing Team, Reveals Episode Count For Season 2
Charlotte Brändström, Sanaa Hamri and Louise Hooper are set to direct on the upcoming second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
So they are adding Brandstrom as showrunner.
No sign of McKay or Payne being removed for season 2.
Rather, they will just have to work with Brandstrom. But if you believe the rumormill, then Brandstrom is the only showrunner of Season 2 as McKay and Payne are being allowed to stay but being relegated to second fiddle.
I however don't believe the rumors. I think adding a woman to the showrunner team is just poltiical to further vent criticism.
There's been no official indication the original showrunners are being moved off the project for Season 2.

She's labeled as "co-producer" which doesn't mean anything, especially when you're already in the directing pool. Most likely they liked her job, promoted her to do more gigs and call it a all-female news. To be honest, this show has way more problems than knowing if the director has a vagina or not.
