Amazon: controlling what you eat and what you watch?
Yep from Whole Paycheck groceries to MGM, plus they are big in cloud computing, which from what the business sites say is actually their biggest money maker.

Amazon needs studio space, likely for the Tolkien work they’re doing. A series about the second age of Middle Earth. Not to mention they do quite a bit of new original content on Amazon Prime. Not that I watch it but I will be watching the Tolkien series.
I’ve given up a lot but I will not give up my Amazon Prime account. Ever.
