Prime Video
Prime Video starting price in April 2016: $8.99 a month (Prime membership $99 a year)

Prime Video potential price in 2033: ~$8.99+ (???) (Prime Membership $179 a year)
Prime users get Prime Video as a package deal, helping incentivize more people to shop on the online giant’s site even with free two-day shipping. The increase in Prime membership came just before new reports claimed total Prime subscribers had been in decline for months. There’s also Amazon’s Freevee, which essentially acts as a gateway drug to the Prime Video experience. In this ecosystem, Prime Video is the incentive, rather than the product itself. That being said, just because Prime Video hasn’t experienced a price bump in seven years doesn’t mean it isn’t due for one, and based on how other services have raised costs, it will likely come soon.
