Amazon Prime charges for shows that were once free mainly because licensing deals with content owners expire, forcing them to renegotiate, or the owners pull content to put it on their own services or sell it elsewhere, with Amazon acting as a middleman that can't control these changes. When contracts end, the distributor decides if they want to renew, sell rights to another platform, or require direct payment (rent/buy) for access to their intellectual property to maximize profit.
