This is an attempt at viral marketing, no doubt planned by Amazon's crisis management department. They've been in overdrive with the propaganda ever since the first Rings of Power trailers received critically bad reception.
Things like this are always interesting because they allow you to gauge the reach of corporate propaganda by observing which segments of society start uncritically parroting this shit.
Amazon's reach is much further than HBO's. HBO can astroturf certain forums to absurd levels for House of the Dragon, and they can make a handful of lackluster memes, but not much else. Amazon successfully controls a handful of media outlets and astroturfs the vast majority of reddit. They can also bribe youtubers, some of whom admit to getting vacations and goody-bags for positive Rings of Power coverage.
Google, though, is the giant. Their propaganda has nearly the same reach as that of the federal government. Their narratives show up in the same places at the same time, and that makes me think they are conjoined.

Think of it as a partnership. The Federal government gets the power of Google, and Google gets to be friends with people who shoot civilians for a living.
Everybody's a winner! Well, except the population, but I think it's safe to say by this point that we're really not concerned about them at all.
