Streaming service giant pays woman 5 figures to watch content

If you think you spend too much time on Amazon Prime, think again as one lucky lady has snatched up her “dream” job with the streaming service.

The woman, Alex Bain, 36, has been dubbed Prime Video’s “Buff”, and her job entails reviewing content for Amazon Prime, which came after the platform searched nationwide to fill the role of watching new content.

Here’s the real kicker, the 36-year-old will be paid $40,000 for three months of viewing new content and sharing her opinions. 

She is not new to the scene of content review as she frequently posts to her Instagram, TikTok and Youtube reviewing various TV shows and movies.

Upon seeing the advertisement from Amazon Prime, one of Bain’s friends encouraged her to apply.

“Everything on it, it was like seeing a list of what would be my ideal job,” Ms Bain told NCA NewsWire.

“I’m 36, so I want to do something I’m passionate about, so I decided to just go for it.

“I got a phone call from Amazon saying I’d been short-listed, and I was like, ‘Oh my God!’”

She said the time between applying for the role and being told she was successful went “so quickly”.

Not long after, she received the news she was the lucky one chosen to fill the role.
