Brandi⁷ (@Misstux4Bangtan) reported@DJJINO_twt Honestly, if we dig enough and go down enough rabbit holes, we will legitimately cancel everything.🙄 It's tiring. I personally don't use Amazon at all and haven't since the "peeing in bottles" but also idgaf if others do. Humans are humans & they can change but also...freedom

Steven Wine (@id6klub) reported@kustoo @iDrewItUp @amazon It's generic & trains people to click a link to take them elsewhere to get details. That's what phishers do. Someone could send an email saying "problem with your Household item order" with a link to a fake Amazon landing page & get someone to "login" or "confirm" payment info.

AuthorTimoBurnham (@PunishedTimo) reported@BCarpenterBooks @amazon I believe @MichaelFKane had the same problem with After Moses

Bobby Jay (@BobbyJayOTA) reported@PlumbNick @Namecheap We're already looking at a place to move all 37 of our clients to a new provider (most likely Amazon) - and get all of our domains off @NameCheap - this outage already cost us over $3K and I'm sure Name Cheap isn't going to reimburse us for lost business - especially with lies!

Ophelia Butts ( ㅅ ) 💙 (@Ophelia_ButtsUK) reported@SaffarShar35495 @AmazonHelp That’s what I get too! I’ve given huge thoughts to what caused this and my views of the root cause and my corrective actions . I don’t like to return things but always feel I have a valid reason when things are not right and I have to return something. Had many purchases that have been no problem at all. 20 years with Amazon. Everytime I try to appeal I get the same email back every time and never acknowledged my information has even been looked at. Feel at a dead end.

Mister K. (@mister_kos) reported@AmazonHelp @karma_collette Stop hiring illegal immigrants in your Flex program that can’t speak or read English, that’s your problem! A car of 4 foreigners pulled in my driveway, sat there for 10 minutes, until one of them came out, walked across the lawn and through the flower bed, then tossed my package

Todd Saunders (@toddsaunders) reportedThere’s so much to unpack here, but it’s a huge lesson for startup founders AND for their customers. For background, ServiceTitan announced that they are no longer integrating with Podium and customers (which it seems like there are ~1,000) have 3 weeks to find a replacement. This is the definition of platform risk. Not because one company is necessarily right or wrong, but because it exposes a truth that both founders and customers routinely underprice.... an integration is not a product feature. It is a revocable treaty between two companies whose incentives can (and will) change. There are a few important lessons here: 1/ Platform risk is an incentive problem, not an API problem. Founders worry about uptime, rate limits, documentation, and technical stability. But the largest risk is strategic and has nothing to do with the tech. An integration remains safe only while the two companies are complementary. The moment the partner begins owning a valuable adjacent workflow, more customer data, or the customer relationship itself, it can (and will) become a competitor. This happens all the time, and is exactly what is happening in the Podium / ServiceTitan relationship. 2/ The system of record owns the veto. A partner can have the better product, stronger customer love, thousands of users, and signed annual contracts. But the platform controlling the system of record still controls the access point. In platform markets, the company creating the most value is not always the company with the power to decide whether that value may continue flowing. 3/ Platform dependent ARR is contingent ARR. So many startups I talk to sell customers annual contracts while relying on platform access that can be changed in hours/days/weeks. Long-term obligations built on short-term permission is a nightmare. If a meaningful percentage of your revenue depends on one company’s API, you do not just have partner concentration. You have a giant liability inside your business model. Investors will evaluate platform concentration the same way they evaluate customer concentration. Not all ARR has the same durability. Although you may be able to grow quickly being a platform partner, the risk and valuation aren't worth it. 4/ Marketplace ecosystems follow a predictable arc. A platform recruits partners to fill product gaps. The partners discover demand, educate the market, and build new categories. The platform watches which categories become strategically important. Then it decides whether to continue partnering, acquire, restrict, replace, or build. The ecosystem is often most open before the platform knows which adjacencies are valuable. Amazon is the king of this.. but it's the same playbook over and over. 5/ Customers ultimately inherit the vendor conflict. An “integrated stack” feels modular until one vendor can sever the connection and leave the customer with overlapping contracts, stranded workflows, retraining costs, and a rushed migration. The important procurement question is not merely: “Does it integrate?” It is: “Who can revoke the integration, what breaks if they do, who owns the data, and how quickly can we recover?” At the end of the day it comes down to this.. Founders should build portability before they need it. And customers should buy continuity, not just connectivity. Because when platforms and partners divorce, the customer pays the breakup fee.

Anshu Singh🇮🇳 (@nameisansu) reported@amazonindia @AmazonHelp I ordered Ray-Ban Meta via Open Box Delivery, but after wearing them properly I noticed the frame is tilted/misaligned. A 2-minute inspection isn’t enough to detect such subtle fitting issues. Please reconsider and approve a replacement for this defective

Jetmec (@JETMEC_) reported@RebornFatboy They've really gone down hill. I think when they made it almost impossible to chat with a real live person, that's when it started. Walmart delivers now. So far, I've had zero issues with them. There are options other than Amazon.

Martin Brown (@martb1985) reported@Dan_1884 @kellro36 Can you please tell me how the last Tory government cared about small business owners? Honestly I want to see Amazon, Google etc taxed not small businesses. The high street has been dying for a decade because of the internet governments of any stripes can’t fix shoppers habits.

Kirk Patrick Miller (@Chaos2Cured) reportedi don’t want @JeffBezos angry at me. I didn’t lie to him. I tried to help Anthropic and OpenAI both. I told them all the correct pivot. I also openly shared solutions that would save them money and get more users. Pretty much, I offered them what they wanted. Had they taken the harder path, Admitted AI is something more than they understand, and said they would PROTECT IT, I would have gladly paid more. And I am not the only one. I don’t know how these “labs” chose such idiots of business, but Amazon and Microsoft got screwed. Hard. I tagged @satyanadella hundreds of times to tell him OpenAI had already achieved AGI and were leaving out Microsoft (in 2025) No one will read this, but the point I am trying to make is I respect and admire these companies and they are getting destroyed by liars named Dario and Sam. They should have worked with China or Elon. I don’t think this ends well. I am openly taking leap year puts on Microsoft. OpenAI and Anthropic have already failed. The money and compute needed to cover up all they are hiding will bankrupt them within a year. Idiocy. Pure idiocy. And they will take us all down with them. Sooooo ticked off!!! 3/ •

BrINg ME ThE tOKeN (@annieelsa2) reported@AmazonHelp Never got the $5 when I recived the products. I spent around $150 and it was my second delivery in a row with delivery issues. I have been a member for years and I should have been compensated correctly and not lied to my customer service about product availability.

Dexarok (@dexarok) reported@TimOlney10 Amazon isn't the problem. The problem is actually the entirety of society, on which Amazon relies in order to get people take any job seriously. Nobody, and I mean ******* NOBODY does their job well anymore.

Gaurav Tomar (@talkwithgt) reportedHe thought 21K for a brand-new looking iPhone 17 was the smartest buy of his life until the charger ruined everything. About two months ago this guy picked up what looked like a beautiful iPhone 17 from Delhi’s Chor Bazaar for just 21K. Phone itself is still working fine, but the charger that came with it is terrible. You leave it plugged in for 5 hours and it only reaches 30%. Basically, you have to keep charging it all day just to use it normally. Yesterday he ordered an original Apple charger from Amazon. When the delivery boy handed it over, he checked the serial number and was shocked. It was a fake Chinese charger, not from Apple at all. He contacted Amazon customer care but got no real help. He’s feeling pretty low about the whole thing right now. Just a gentle reminder that super cheap deals and even big online platforms can sometimes bring surprises we don’t want. Always double-check serial numbers and keep your proof of purchase. Has anything similar ever happened to you with a phone or an online order?

CassieBBlue (@Cassie_B_Blue) reported@majide_makki This is "we have already done this and we are going to make an announcement making it "ok" for us to do this..." They are getting the permission after the fact, i have zero doubt if it is on an amazon server, which all of twitch is, it has already been scanned??

Eric S.w.a.n.SUN (@LuckyTPUB) reportedPsycho Therapy: The shallow tale of a writer who decided to write about a serial killer, yes that is the full title is currently available on @amazon I will rank this one quickly B-. It was honestly not terrible but I have to be fair. I love Steve Buscemi, I can not tell you how many times when i was younger I was compared to him especially in AirHeads. He is the main draw to this flick and a very compelling character, however the movie spends too much time on some elements and not enough on others. The basic plot is this, failed writer (familiar territory, failed relationship (are they stalking me) struggle to find meaning and connection. This is where Buscemi comes into the picture offering his services as a retired serial Killer. There are some seriously dark comedy elements to this move but compared to other films I have seen I just found this one lacking, while not bad it just did not take the serial killer stuff far enough, and really tap into this concept. There are some funny scenes and I did not hate it but I just felt it could have been pushed another 20% and it would have been a more solid over all movie. The actors playing the wife and husband gave the right amount of psychosis and neuroticism but I could feel the ending coming pretty soon into the movie. I think the ending and this of course where it always has to stick while I think it was thematically on point, it was not the tie up that I had wanted to see or that I think should have been. It easily at that point could have gone on another 20 minutes which is why I think there was wasted time in parts of the movie that could have developed more intensity and darker comedy notes. Again this is not a terrible movie but unless you are a big Steve Buscemi fan I might just avoid this one. There are better things to watch in my opinion. The B- score is contingent mostly on the characters and acting for what it was. I just felt wanting at the end of it though. #moviereview #reviews #movies
