-
BleuWolf (@BleuWolf248) reported@MalleableFusock @Andrew669631 Public companies on the stock market seem to have the bigger issue were they value shareholders at the expense of the workers and customers. Sears should be Amazon right now. Private companies seem to value workers and customers more.

Tera Winters (@TasteOfTera) reportedDespite what I’d call some sloppy play and terrible pass decisions. Everblades have a 4-0 lead half way into the 2nd 😎 these guys really want another cup! The games on flosports on Amazon if anyone wants to watch it!
-
Snacken (@snackennap) reported@x103p With how this season is going and how much people complain about Invincible animation, maybe the issue is Amazon.

Rem Klem (@PowrWhit92214) reported@preterniadotcom Another day, another ******* batch of garbage, broken links and ****** sites like Amazon GameStop

Tracey Ryniec (@TraceyRyniec) reported@ArunCherian12 @MPelletierCIO There was plenty of competition in 2008 as well. People used to say, "but I can buy yoga pants for $20 on Amazon." Yes, yes, you can. Can still do that in 2026 as well. Athleta sales are down right now as well because athleisure is over.

NoLimit (@NoLimitGains) reportedMELI is the Amazon of Latin America. 28 consecutive quarters of 30%+ revenue growth $8.85B Q1 revenue. Down 36% from its June 2025 high. A 30%+ growth business trading at 10-year low valuations is exactly the setup Burry tends to target.

Johnny (@Johnny633539266) reported@MeVsEnnui @nypost It’s sad you don’t know basic economics. Sure tax him more, then he has to cut down jobs across the US and you hurt the economy along with 1.5 million people employed by Amazon. We don’t tax on gross income because it doesn’t account for the jobs the company creates

Mohd Kaif Ansari (@mohd_kaif26718) reported2/ Reported the issue expecting support for a product that is practically new and under warranty. Amazon denied replacement citing the 10-day replacement policy. Samsung also denied replacement saying it was bought through Amazon.

Razgriz (@razgriiz) reported@Pirat_Nation OH MY GOD, this is peak government brain rot. You’ve already forked out for decent broadband that costs an arm and a leg every month. You’re paying Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, whatever else, just to watch what you actually want. You’re chilling in your own house, minding your own business, not touching live TV or BBC iPlayer. And now the BBC is basically saying: “Yeah, we know you’re not watching us… but hand over another £180 a year anyway.” It’s like you’ve paid for the entire meal at a restaurant, and some random third party walks up to your table demanding a cut because “vibes” or “cultural contribution” or whatever nonsense they’re spinning. The streaming services have nothing to do with the BBC. You’re not using their product. You’re not live-streaming their channels. You’re just existing with an internet connection and a subscription. How is this even a serious conversation? The rules were made for 1950s telly when everyone had one box in the corner. Now it’s 2026 and half the country doesn’t watch live TV at all. The fix isn’t “let’s just tax the streaming users too.” The fix is to modernise like every other broadcaster on the planet. Either put ads on the BBC like normal channels, make the licence fee voluntary, or let people actually choose what they pay for. But no, instead we get this desperate reach into your digital wallet because they can’t be bothered to compete. I’m already paying for the internet. I’m already paying for the shows I watch. I am literally just trying to relax. Leave. Me. Alone. This whole idea is completely mental

Vip (@firecruiseer) reported@AmazonHelp I have shared you the brief response with all the details. If any action is not taken on the agent and also on the failure to provide services the issue will be escalated accordingly.

Abhisek Bhattacharya (@ToAbhisek) reported@amazonIN @AmazonHelp @amazon Yesterday received another package, where some accessories were missing. There is a replacement policy of 10 days. But it is showing error while raising the replacement. The customer service could not help either. Now theybare asking me to wait for 2 days to do investigation.

N’yog The Eldritch Gentleman ✞ ☩ (@Ny0gSothep) reported@MischiefMach @eStream_ @johnlovell275 Looks like you’re using Zoho for your CMS. Unfortunately that is a platform I’m not familiar with. The GoDaddy name-servers you’re using should be relatively fast. So that shouldn’t be the issue. But Amazon is the host…. That might be the issue. You wouldn’t believe how many companies supplement their infrastructure with Amazon because is cheaper. As a consequence there are sometimes delays, and heaven forbid if there is a blackout you’ll very quickly find out who’s cutting corners.

Slim Chance (@ImriJonas) reported@Ric_RTP @Writer_Luau YouTube (Google) knows exactly what you watch down to the second. So does Meta through Instagram and Facebook. So does Amazon Prime and Netflix. Walmart is just getting in on the action.

el thepenpalss 🌈 (@seafIwrs) reported@lukovist they’re saying amazon always makes nonbinary characters unlikable but i think that’s on op bc i personally don’t have an issue with either of these characters

Anna writes (@anna_writes0) reportedA lot of KDP books don’t fail because they’re bad… They fail because people can’t find them on Amazon 👀 This usually comes down to: • title positioning • subtitle clarity • keyword targeting • search intent Wrong title + wrong keyword angle = invisible book. Example: ❌ “My Journey to Financial Freedom” → low search intent ✅ “Budgeting for Beginners: How to Save Money and Manage Expenses” → matches what people actually search for Simple truth: A book can be valuable and still struggle if the positioning is weak. I’ve been breaking this down more in my beginner KDP starter kit..

Saiswaroopa Iyer (@Sai_swaroopa) reportedI have been trying to to something in the last 8-9 months or slightly longer. I skimmed through Amazon Kindle Store's top 100 books (more of those on Kindle Unlimited) and looked for AI feel to it. Most of them in India store are romance ones, and in UK store crime thrillers of various flavours dominate. My Kindle content shows I have skimmed through 32 books in the period (most of them are unserious crime thrillers/romantic stories). Almost all of them are Indie author self published ones. I did not read them deeply. Some of them, I left in the middle after I found more than three or four instances of AI usage. (Not because I am anti AI but because this happens to be a study of sorts) Most of them betray AI generated content. Some of them were well incorporated. Others had not been edited enough. These books may not stay in the top 100 for a long time. But same couple of authors have come up with newer books in this time which are again in the top 100. Probably they also have a high degree of AI usage. Haven't figured out how to capture my observations yet. But qualitatively I can say.... 1) Indie authors have largely embraced AI. Some of them work well with it. Some of them are still figuring out. 2) And these books are thriving (#100 in overall Kindle Store. Not even the category rank) though for a short period of time. Which means that a large number of readers are reading them. 3) Very few cases of negative reviews citing AI usage as the reason. (May be many downloaded and DNFed them but did not rate them down) I may not continue this study in the coming few months and may resume later. But this has been an interesting exercise. If I resume again, I would do so after identifying measurable parameters to make sense of the effort. A by and large feel in my mind We are able to cocreate stories with AI that are not explicitly rejected by readers. Can we extend this to cocreate good literature?

Xommando (@XommandoPrime) reported@TunesRank @FanAkko .. them from Amazon, rather than from toy stores that no longer exist. The important thing is that the Sequels are actually great movies, while the Prequels are abysmally terrible. Don't get me wrong, I'm fond of them, but they're still terribly made.

Rare Notion (@RareNotion) reported@HeinrichHyper @eagleeye2805 Tbh I like UnrealEngine 5, what's bad about it? Also yeah if you let retards run your company the products get worse when they are publicly traded but I don't have any issue with like Siemens, Porsche, Google (Alphabet), Amazon and many more. It depends on management not public vs. private in my opinion

Geoff Pomerantz (@gpmrntz) reportedPeople are talking about @JeffBezos $100M donation to NYC schools It is less than a .001% of his wealth I.e., a penny out of a $100 bill He only has to borrow against less than .0005% of his total Amazon stock holdings (~880M+) to make this donation A rounding error / PR stunt

Jordan West (@jordantwestecom) reportedTikTok Shop just launched a counterfeit protection initiative called TikTok Real! BREAKING NEWS! Every major marketplace eventually has to grow up! Amazon had to deal with this Walmart had to deal with this Now TikTok Shop is dealing with it!! Counterfeits Bad listings IP issues Seller trust Customer confidence This is what happens when a channel moves from “growth hack” to real commerce infrastructure If your listings are messy... if your claims are loose... if your creator guidelines are unclear... if your customer experience is weak... the platform is going to make it harder for you to win That’s not a bad thing! It means the channel is maturing!! The next wave of TikTok Shop winners will not just have better content. They’ll have a better operating system behind the content Clean catalog Strong compliance Clear creator rules Real fulfillment Fast CX Creators, affiliates, ads, and operations working together TikTok Shop is getting more serious. Brands should too DM me

Official Layoff (@LayoffAI) reportedAMAZON DOING SILENT LAYOFFS RIGHT NOW 🚨 No CEO memo. No press release. No WARN Act filing. Just employees showing up on Reddit saying their roles were eliminated. A lot of them. This is exactly what @PlumbNick predicted in October 2025. Amazon announced 30,000 cuts. Backlash was massive. They walked it back to 14,000. Still too loud. His words: "I'd A/B test the message and fine-tune the balance all the way down until Americans have nothing left." Now in May 2026, they seem to have found the formula. Say nothing. Eliminate roles quietly. Keep each site under 100 cuts so WARN Act never triggers. No filing means no public record. No record means no headline. Do we know 100% they are doing this? No, and that is the point. The WARN Act requires 60-day notice for mass layoffs. But if you stagger the cuts, spread them across sites, and never use the word "layoff," you never technically trigger it. Is it legal? The law says deliberate structuring to avoid thresholds is a violation. But enforcement is through private lawsuits, and the penalty is 60 days back pay. For Amazon, that's a rounding error. Meanwhile, they are the #1 abuser of H-1B in the entire country since 2017.

Kamran (@kamran_6889) reported@JeffBezos @amazonIN @AmazonHelp I dont know how much time it will take so I am starting a streak here to get my issue resolved , all my amazon orders are getting cancelled automatically and nobody is fixing it. Lets see how long you need. Day 4: fix my account!

Veritas Vera (@Error404GaryB) reported16 meetings. 6 US tech giants. 0 public disclosure. A senior No 10 adviser reportedly met executives from Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Apple and Oracle behind closed doors while government policy on AI, regulation and data centres was being shaped. That is not a minor diary omission. That is a transparency problem. Who had access, and why was the public kept in the dark?

Mike (@AstroBoi95) reported@nosnowfIakes @preterniadotcom Then I don't know what ******** is going on bro, if you were there the second to drop then it has to be a stupid Amazon glitch again.

Impending Doom (@Shawn_star2002) reported@Poerisija @lepslair @otokyo__ You expect God to be some same day Amazon prayer vending machine? You pray for God for healing he'll put you in a situation later on to where you can be healed Or maybe what you are suffering from will eventually put you in a situation to where you can find a life changing opportunity We cant see the future, but he can We dont know if what we're asking for is something we actually need in the moment. Or if its something we dont need at all. Or it is being granted, and its just gonna take time. Speaking of Job thats literally what the book was about. Trusting in God You know God exists dont play that game. You just hate him You allowed resentment to build in your heart causing it to harden You call his messengers ********? Congratulations buddy you're one of them too. We all are. Remember God has a plan for everyone including those people you mentioned. How do you know they arent gonna get whats coming to them? Patience is a hard thing to master, trust me I've been there. But no matter how far you go down the wrong road, you can always turn back. But if you are gonna make a decision like a man and walk away You are also gonna face the consequences from the decision like a man. You say youd rather go to hell. No you dont. Thats like saying youd rather sleep on a bed of spikes then a therapeutic bed You can say that you would, but when its time to lay in it and those first couple spikes pierce your back. Youre gonna realize you made a mistake. What you need to do is to vent your frustrations to a priest. Not a pastor. A priest, because pastors will try to sugar coat everything. Because as much as I'd love to sit here and talk. Im neither a theologian or a therapist. Deep down you know you wanna go back, but those hurdles that prevent you that distort God into some kind of monster makes you not wanna go back. And as for the church members. Humans are gonna be humans, thats why we needed a savior which is Jesus. Everyone has fallen short of the glory of God
