69kov (@levikov) reportedYour dad spent more on Amazon last year than ur sister spent at Sephora... n every AI character operator on twitter is fighting over the same 12 grandma archetypes while the entire male buyer side of the platform sits empty Female AI is saturated. Male AI is wide open. Quick reality check on what dads actually buy online: Men 35-65 tend to spend in $200+ chunks. Tools, electronics, supplements, watches, tactical gear, truck accessories, EDC, work boots. They decide once n keep it. They do not casually return a $180 cordless drill at the rate ur sister returns a $34 lipstick that didn't show up the way the filter promised. Repeat buying for men in this demo also runs higher than people think. Dad finds a brand of work glove he likes, n he buys the same one for the rest of his life. Same for socks. Same for screwdrivers. Same for whey protein. Lower returns + higher AOV + brutal brand loyalty = a buyer pool ur niche has been ignoring on purpose The reason it stays empty: every AI character operator on this app is a 22yo who can imagine a grandma in a kitchen but cannot imagine a 54yo carpenter w arthritis in his hands. He has no frame for the buyer. So he stays in the grandma lane n complains it is saturated. His blindspot = ur runway The 5 male character archetypes that print right now: - The garage dad (50s, pegboard tool wall, stained coffee mug, sells tools + EDC + truck accessories + men's grooming) - The retired marine (60s, clean garage, military patches in frame, sells tactical gear + supplements + watches + survival) - The country mechanic (40s, oil-stained hands, sells tools + truck stuff + supplements + work boots) - The ex-cop (50s, neutral tactical setup, sells defense products + watches + supplements + EDC) - The retired farmer (60s, barn or workshop background, sells outdoor gear + tools + farming products + work gloves) Pick ONE. Build it in google flow ultra at $99/mo. Lock the workshop. Lock the lighting. Same room forever. Same hat. Same mug. Voice cloning is where the male lane kills most operators Default elevenlabs voices die in 4 sec on men 50+ bc the audience is allergic to anything that sounds rehearsed. Find a real 55yo man w slight rural accent on fiverr. Pay him $400 for 60 min varied audio. 12 min natural conversation, 12 min product demos, 12 min CTA, 12 min emotion variations, 12 min single-word delivery. Clone it. Use it forever. (he signs the release. he gets paid $400 cash. he thinks it's an audiobook narration. it is not ur problem... move on) The product clusters per archetype: Garage dad = cordless drill + magnetic tray + penetrating oil + work gloves + multi-tool + garage organization rack + men's beard wash + hand cream for cracked hands + work boots Retired marine = tactical flashlight + paracord kit + fire steel + multivitamin + fish oil + magnesium + leather watch strap + EDC knife + range bag Country mechanic = socket set + hydraulic jack + brake cleaner + work gloves + mechanic creeper + knee pads + men's coffee mug w "dad" energy + joint pain supplements Build a 6-12 item amazon idea list per archetype + send it in DM when someone comments the keyword. The script structure for men is different from women n this is where 95% of operators fail Men do not want to hear feelings. Men want the fix in 8 seconds. The 18-sec male BOF script: 3 sec hook = pain in 1 sentence ("if ur drill keeps slipping on stripped screws stop pressing harder like a caveman") 8 sec demo = object in hand, one specific result w one number ("this extractor bit backs the screw out clean in ~14 seconds") 5 sec CTA = where to find it ("link to the exact set i use is in the comments") No story arc. No feelings montage. No "i wanna share my journey." Men hate that on instinct. The fix IS the story. Posting cadence: 6 videos/day for 30 straight days across tiktok + reels + youtube shorts + facebook reels + threads. Same render, 5 platforms, 4 min upload time per video. Sometimes the biggest arbitrage on the internet is just a demographic everyone is too embarrassed to target bc the niche doesn't look cool in a screenshot... Revenue at 6 male character pages run by one operator (real ballparks, not 14-decimal accounting): Garage dad ~ $30k/mo Retired marine ~ $40k/mo Country mechanic ~ $25k/mo Ex-cop ~ $35k/mo Retired farmer ~ $25k/mo Backup character ~ $30k/mo Combined ~ $180k/mo at maturity, lower in months 1-3, higher in months 6+ once subscription tails kick in Tool stack across all 6: $99 google flow + $99 elevenlabs + $20 claude + $4 proxy + $480/mo filipino VA = ~$700/mo The female AI lane has hundreds of active operators The male AI lane has maybe a few dozen worldwide Same audience size + same buying power + a fraction of the competition Ur ego is the only thing keeping u out of it

Chris Evans (@ThatChrisEvans0) reported@MrMiller007_ Seems like a lot of these shipped with problems, Amazon might’ve dropped the ball.

Bank of Braavos (@BankBraavos) reported5/ One helpful cross-check: where Celsius did not rationalize as aggressively, the brand still appears healthy. Management cited Amazon and New York City as areas where Celsius was still growing roughly 20%+. That does not look like a broken brand.

Sagar Awatade (@SagarAwatade) reported@PollNSurvey @naveenaksharma Amazon may not block an account solely because of an our order issue. There are usually multiple factors involved, such as suspicious refund activity, repeated refund requests, possible fake reviews or unusual account behaviour, which may lead to such actions. Just check your own messages once, if you already received a refund for a bad experience, then why place another order for the same brand and again apply for a refund? That naturally raises concerns. If you had any genuine issue, you could have directly contacted our support team via official email instead of using an unknown account while hiding your identity. Also, please recheck your own video carefully - there seems to be a loose cable connection and the LED is blinking when the cable is touched. Grow up and be a responsible e-commerce consumer and online user 🙏🏼 And yes, Amazon usually doesn’t inform users in advance before blocking accounts. Anyways, after receiving multiple messages within just a few minutes from your handle, I’m choosing not to engage further on this.

Wintersgoldapple (@Wintersgoldapp0) reportedAlright, in response to the Boomers crashing out telling us "Oh you can afford things if you stop subscribing to Netflix", Listen *******! Let's start with what I DON'T spend my money on: - Subscriptions; Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, etc. - Consumerist hobbies, like FunkoPops or MtG . - Constant Goyslop, like McDonald's or Starbucks. - Onlyfans, Fansly, or any other ******. I don't have wild spending habits... What I have spent my money on over the years is my own living. Since 18, rent, cars, utilities, loans for education, credit card debt, etc etc. I've spent the past 10 years playing YOUR game! Work hard, don't waste money, get an education, get a job, get debt to build credit, and everything will somehow MAGICALLY workout; according to you people! Meanwhile, the best time in the past 3 decades to have been able to buy a house was around 2009-2012; while I was still in ******* grade school! When the average cost was around $100k–$120k, paying >$600 a month, on a 30-year mortgage. Today, the same houses cost $220k+, monthly payments $1,500+ a month, are maybe 1,000 sq ft (if you're lucky), and need around $50k-80k worth of repairs just to make them livable. Don't. *******. Tell. Me. About. Housing! I'd love to play your game! I'd love to own a small house, fix it, flip it, buy a bigger one, IF I COULD AFFORD STAGE 1! IF I HAD SAVINGS FROM NOT RENTING! Not even considering inflation, low wages, general affordability, the housing market is NOT friendly to my generation! But yet for some reason, we're "lazy", we're "entitled", and we're "stupid", all because we either CAN'T or DON'T want to play your game that we'd lose anyway.

Helpful Landlord (@heIpfullandlord) reported@jearl02s Hasn't Amazon already collected the fees on the sale, return, etc., on all the items that show up at these return auctions/stores? #1 on your list has got to be a big problem and is getting bigger. They need to figure that out somehow, but again, doesn't it hurt the seller more than Amazon?

Nikhilesh A (@AdiNikhilesh) reported@justinstorre I have a Dell XPS(2017) that I bought off amazon in 2020 turned out to be a gray product but there has been no issue except screen went out in 2024 and I replaced it with a better screen from same generation It's my entire life!

Dan Wagner (@realDanWagner) reported@apple4915 Great question and an important one. Amazon and Google are extraordinary companies but their incentives are different. Amazon ultimately wants to own the commerce relationship and Google monetises discovery through advertising. Rezolve is built purely for retailers. Our focus is making AI commerce work reliably inside the retailer’s environment with merchant control, grounded discovery and verified execution. We also have a different technical approach: proprietary commerce-trained LLMs (brainpowa), TraceWare to dramatically reduce hallucinations, 30 patents and a blockchain-backed commerce database designed specifically for retail. In short: the big platforms are building broad AI capability. We’re focused on solving the very specific and difficult problem of commerce-grade AI for retailers.

buck tardwater (@tardwater) reported@DeadlessHick My mom’s entire house is like this. She has a hoarding/online shopping problem. Basically she buys cheap, useless chinese gadgets from Amazon and instagram and her house is full of them. Most of it is still in the box, probably never to be opened. Really frustrating

Adv. S. B. Tripathi (@sbtripathiadvoc) reported@AmazonHelp No time frame given. If Amazon can't deliver order, it must be kind enough to issue refund immediately. Chullu bhar paani mein doob maro Amazon.

Rock Lobster (@MissWittank) reported@AmazonHelp @AmazonUK I have done the Post Office return option but the confirmation for the Post Office says I am returning a shirt. That is not going to be the contents of the package as I wasn't sent a shirt. Will that be a problem?

Jack | FREE SPEECH (@HybridProphecy) reportedSame thing is happening with the new Rambo 4K Blu-ray set. Exclusive to Amazon. Expensive. Also stock issues, pre-orders don't seem to mean anything as they oversell and people miss out. #PhysicalMedia

Alex Wyatt | Meta Ad Creatives (@Alexwyatt47) reportedThis ad spent £29K in 30 days and drove 1800 purchases at a 6.54 ROAS. Before we made a single creative for this brand we spent 2 weeks in their customers’ world. Reddit threads about the problems their product solves. Amazon reviews of their competitors. TikTok comments. Forum posts. We pulled over 1,000 customer voices and sorted them by desire. What people actually want. Not what the brand thinks they want. The frustrations. The failed solutions. The language they use when nobody is watching. That research became the brief. The brief became the creative. The creative resonated because every word in it came from a real person experiencing a real problem. We just structured it and put it in front of the right audience. This is how you get creatives to scale.

David Gallo (@SellerForgeAI) reportedMost AI-generated Amazon listings ship broken in 2026. Byte cap/ banned superlatives / category title cap / A+ vs description mismatch / AI main image policy. Generic LLMs default to the 2018 playbook. Sellers find out when their traffic drops. The 4-stage workflow that wins ↓

plockett.eth (🅰️,🌶) (@PaulLockettkpb) reported@emanperez28 Yes but less of a single server and more like a lot of servers and you get a random one near you every time you use it. Vercel does the same thing with their web hosting they just do it in Amazon’s cloud. Cloudflare workers are cheaper and can do more because it doesn’t have to pay Amazon they pay for their space in data centers directly.

JB (@Jaebi_oce) reportedTo be fair, Tolkien described hobbits as having "browner skin than many men", and Harfoots as being "browner of skin" than other hobbit groups. I liked Sadoc. I don't think amazon really cares tho, they just did it for diversity points. And I think thats more the issue here.

Lori (forced dissident) 🦺 🔻 🇵🇸 (@MMOrpgPrincess) reported@SteveHiltonx @Herb4Controller @MichaelGatesESQ Yeah, so, not everyone lives near you man. Just completely ignore the millions of Californians in the central valley stuck utilizing Highway 99, congested by Bezos' Amazon sh*tshow & a zillion other trucks. High-Speed rail is NEEDED. The problem is a corrupt system. Fix that.

Md Nazmul Hassan (@AgentNazmul) reportedCompetitor research isn't about copying; it's about finding market blind spots. If a competitor's ad has been active for 3+ months, it's converting. Don't copy it—reverse-engineer it. Find their weak angles in Amazon reviews, fix them, and launch the winning hook.

Hannah Genie (@hm_tech_travel) reported@The_Cyber_News Man down, Motorola. Intercepting Amazon app launches for undisclosed affiliate revenue? Thats supply chain compromise. My CISA cert did not prepare me for OEMs acting like malware.
