I am constantly amazed at just how many things Amazon is involved in. Though I do not work for them, I am pretty intimately involved with them, and have some insider knowledge, and it blows my mind how many different, random, and seemingly pointless things they work with.

I kinda have hard feeling against them because I feel like they go out of their way to stifle (external) innovation. However they certainly do their best to innovate within their own company. I literally can't think of any other company that throws their money around on experiments to such a degree as Amazon.

As for this project, It is an unique idea, and all it really takes is on home run for the world to take notice, and for them to disrupt the current system. Unfortunately I believe it is the writers' that are the most taken advantage of in Hollywood, and it doesn't seem like this does anything to remedy that. I think it would be better if they gave them $100k on the front end, and 10% on the back end. That way they still get the guaranteed money for their work, but they are compensated if it is a home run hit. That is a better deal than a lot of studios give writers, and so it would actually attract high quality scripts.
