Scriven's Lair (@naofaith_scri) reportedThe biggest problem with BookTok is NOT the women who read Y/N CEO Dark Romance Slop on Week 69. The biggest problem is influencers on BookTok who worked with Amazon with their Audible sponsorship while also preaching Amazon is a bad company.

Ethan Greenberg (Ethan in Richmond, VA) (@egreen4325) reportedI slept on it...I'm still upset about the way the @Cavs game went last night. So many errors. Now it all comes down to a game 7. Let's hope the players have short memories & can use home court to their advantage. Also, Amazon should stay in their lane. The production & quality of the broadcasts on Prime have been awful on so many levels. @NBA, choose your broadcast partners carefully.

Parmesh Khanna (@khanna_parmesh) reportedOrdered a OnePlus Nord CE5 on 23 Apr via Amazon, delivered 26 Apr. Device was defective from first use—battery error “not genuine”. Submitted at OnePlus service centre (Andheri, Mumbai) within 24 hrs (27 Apr). @OnePlus_IN @onepluscareIN @AmazonHelp (1/2)

Vikas Poddar (@vikaspell) reported@YusufDFI @amazonIN @ZeptoNow I had a different incident with Amazon and same repeated almost every time. They mark the order as delivered and the delivery happens the next day. Why mark an order as delivered without actually delivering and we as customers feel cheated and typing to customer service with order issues. I always order prepaid not switching to COD due to this issue.

rick.h (@rickyhewitt_dev) reportedAmazon causes so much damage to the retail market (and society). Flooded with Chinese products, fake/paid reviews, employee mistreatment, the company itself engaging in shady practices, rampant tax evasion, massive product waste / refund waste, scams, the list goes on... Regulate them more effectively, and many of the issues with deserted and dilapidated high streets would resolve themselves within a year.

Being a prime customer makes this issue more annoying. Kindly resolve. My prime membership recently got renewed for 1 year. Looking forward to hear.

Stephen Forte (@stephenforte) reportedAmazon called it user error. Technically correct. The audit log had no separate identity for the agent. The action was attributed to the human. The autopilot crashed the plane and the flight manifest only listed the captain.

David McKenzie (@mckenzielaw) reportedThis is what I think is going on with the Duke-Amazon deal and why the Big Ten is whining. It's all about a direct-to-consumer model and risk allocation. Let's start with the law because the law explains the deal. College sports media rights flow through a stacked architecture that schools rarely discuss in public but that governs everything they can and cannot do. Every ACC member, Duke included, has executed a Grant of Rights to the conference— an irrevocable assignment of media rights running through 2036. The ACC then licensed that aggregated catalogue to ESPN under a parallel agreement of comparable duration. The Big Ten and Fox sit atop an identical structure on their side of the ledger. The consequence is that Duke does not own the broadcast rights to its own basketball games in any meaningful sense. ESPN does. And Michigan's rights belong to Fox. That architecture is the entire reason the Amazon deal required permission rather than a checkbook, as suggested by @RossDellenger. Duke could not license a game to Amazon any more than a tenant could sell the building. What Duke could do is ask the actual rights holder — ESPN, through the ACC — to carve out three games from its exclusive bundle and allow Amazon to distribute them. ESPN agreed. Dellenger's reporting suggests ESPN extracted a licensing fee plus future Duke scheduling commitments in return. That is a sublicense, structured as a limited waiver of exclusivity, and it is the legal mechanism that makes the entire arrangement possible. Without ESPN's consent, the deal is a straightforward breach of the Grant of Rights cascade. With it, the deal is unremarkable contract law. Which brings us to the Big Ten. Its claim that it "owns" the Duke-Michigan game is the sound of a conference dressing up a contractual reciprocity provision as a property right. The actual mechanism the B1G is invoking is an alternation arrangement between the conferences and their rights holders for neutral-site games played in shared metropolitan territory with New York, a virtual home game for Duke, being the one at issue. Even taking that at face value, it is a contract claim running between the conferences, not a proprietary interest enforceable against Duke, Amazon, or Madison Square Garden. And the party whose alternation turn was supposedly violated, ESPN, has already blessed the deal. It is hard to articulate a coherent legal theory under which the B1G or Fox enforces ESPN's contractual entitlement against ESPN's wishes. The B1G's posture is a negotiating marker, not a litigation position, and any honest reading of the underlying agreements would say so. So why did ESPN say yes? This is where the law stops explaining things and strategy takes over. I'm not just guessing here. ESPN launched its standalone streaming flagship into a market in which the most important commercial question in sports media remains unanswered: will cord-cutters pay to watch a Tuesday-night college basketball game? Disney has spent the better part of a decade rearranging its streaming portfolio without producing a clean answer, and the cost of running that experiment on ESPN's own platform —with ESPN's own marquee inventory and ESPN's own reputation on the line — is considerable. The Pac-12 tried a version of this experiment with Apple two years ago. Apple would not pay linear money, the schools would not accept streaming-only reach, and the conference disintegrated before the deal did. The lesson the industry absorbed was that premium college sports was not yet ready for direct-to-consumer exclusivity. ESPN needs to know whether that lesson still holds, and it would prefer not to find out the hard way. The structure of the Duke deal seems to be the answer. Amazon bears the production cost, the promotional spend, and the conversion risk against Prime's installed 200M+ worldwide subscriber base. ESPN collects a licensing fee, future scheduling inventory it can deploy on its own terms, and a clean read on whether streaming-exclusive premium college basketball actually works as a commercial proposition. If Amazon's experiment succeeds, ESPN learns the model and pulls future games back in-house at the next negotiation. If it fails, Amazon absorbs the loss and ESPN quietly concludes the market is not ready, having paid nothing for the information beyond the foregone value of three games it was compensated for anyway. That is not a concession. It is a hedged bet, and a clever one. Fox cannot afford the same posture, which is why the B1G is whining. Fox One and Tubi are real but considerably smaller than the combined Disney streaming footprint, and every individual rights leak feels more existential to a network without the same DTC depth to fall back on. ESPN can be magnanimous because Disney has room to be patient. Fox and the B1G have less room, so the B1G is now tasked with escalating a routine reciprocity dispute into a public claim of ownership it cannot sustain. That tells you more about the B1G and Fox's competitive position than it does about the merits of the contract. The deeper point, and the one worth dwelling on, is that the rights architecture schools accepted a decade ago to keep their conferences intact is now being tested by the schools themselves. Duke did not break the system. Duke worked within it, asked ESPN for permission, gave up something in return, and brought a streaming partner to the table that the network was apparently happy to let bear the risk of an experiment Disney has not figured out how to run on its own. The B1G and Fox would prefer that schools not learn this trick. They are about to learn it anyway. And the next negotiation, whenever it comes, will reflect what Amazon's three games taught everyone about who the audience really is and what they will pay to watch. The Duke-Amazon arrangement is being described as a turning point for college sports media. My honest guess is that it's more of a market test, structured by a rights holder who needed information from a 200M+ subscriber base more than it needed three basketball games. It's now being resisted by a competitor who cannot afford to be that patient. The law explains how the deal got done. The strategy explains why ESPN wanted it done this way. And the B1G's complaint, stripped of its proprietary language, is the complaint of a conference that wishes it had thought of it first.

Sachin R (@SachinR114770) reported@AmazonHelp If you have issues with it why would you show that in your app. Why you promise customer that it will be delivered on this day. Have you lost your policy?

Jonah 📦 (@jonahhodges_) reportedI had a brand I was buying from, but wasn’t allowed to do FBA They had another partner running their Amazon. I was on the outside looking in. Instead of just accepting it, I sat down with them and said: "Can I see what your partner does for you? I just want to understand the model so I can offer you more value." They walked me through the entire setup A-Z. - What the partner charges. - What services they provide. - How the deal was structured. - Where the agency was falling short. Now I didn't have to guess what the brand needed. They told me EXACTLY what was missing. Couple months later, I had the account exclusively. If you’re going to offer a service, be ready to work up front FOR FREE Surplus value, always

Stevie 🔮 $XRP (@EsotericKang) reported@JohnConner88703 @Tonyxu92 My highlighters on my page is full of decodes. And here’s the time I predicted the 10/20/2025 Amazon Web Services outage 6 days before it happened on 10/14/2025 using a Mr Pool “TV Outage” post and 322 Skull & Bones numerology. So if you’re trying to imply I have no decodes, you can try being a douche somewhere else.
