      Actually, I think NPR gets money from Amazon because they pay NPR for ad free versions of their shows for Prime subscribers, and Amazon just chooses to advertise that on their own

      Of course, the fact that NPR is being paid by Amazon and Amazon customers get a premium version of public media is a total fucking disgrace, but NPR rightly or wrongly felt they had to do this because they’ve been expecting the federal government to try to cut them for years and they needed new revenue streams
