Amazon Video Direct: Kindle Unlimited shadow grows

Whatever one might think of Kindle Unlimited, its payout-per-use model doesn't look to go away any time soon. Following in the footsteps of KU and Amazon Underground, Amazon just expanded the business model into video:

The service allows sales, ala carte rentals and subscriptions, and per-minute payout options:

Creators have several options to monetize their videos, including making them available to rent or own, or they can make them free and ad-supported. The videos can also be packaged together and offered as an add-on subscription to Amazon Prime Video. Add-on subscriptions are available through the Streaming Partners Program, and are intended for larger-scale video providers.
Quote:

In addition, Amazon says that creators will have control over where their videos can be streamed. For now, that means they can be streamed in countries where Amazon Video is available – the U.S., Germany, Austria, United Kingdom and Japan.

These videos can be played back anywhere Amazon Video works, as well, which includes mobile phones and tablets (Fire, iOS and Android), desktop, game consoles, connected TV platforms, and Fire TV.
Quote:
According to Variety, Amazon will pay partners 50 percent of the retail price for digital purchases, rentals and subscription fees. If creators distribute on Prime Video, they will earn royalties of 15 cents per hour streamed in the U.S. and 6 cents in other territories, their report indicates. (This is capped at $75,000 per year).

Along with the debut of AVD, as the new service is called for short, Amazon is also launching AVD Stars. A unique promotion designed to kick-start this new video platform, the AVD Stars program gives creators a share of $1 million per month based on customer engagement with their title.

Amazon says it will distribute a monthly bonus to creators from the $1 million monthly fund, based on the Top 100 AVD titles in Prime Video. This is on top of any other revenue earned. All creators and providers who use AVD will automatically be enrolled.

The program launches today and the $1 million monthly fund will make its first bonus distributions based on streaming activity from June 1st to June 30th.

In one move they are bringing both KDP and KU to video.
Text, audio, android games & apps, now video...
Consistent, aren't they?
