    @CreativeDeduct And if Amazon ever stops doing that well, screwing over customers or vendors enough, well, that's an opportunity for a competitor to swoop in and do what Amazon failed to do - so long as the government isn't holding them back - which is always the real problem in expensive areas.

    Amazon's stake in Anthropic produced $53.4 billion last quarter. Every warehouse, every ad, every AWS server produced $27.5 billion. Amazon disclosed it plainly. Non-operating pre-tax other income of $53.4 billion, primarily from its investments in Anthropic, against operating income of $27.5 billion. Both figures are pre-tax. Net income of $62.6 billion is after tax and does not belong in the same ratio. The value has a traceable source. On 20th April 2026, Amazon invested $5 billion in Anthropic with up to $20 billion more, on top of $8 billion already deployed. The very same day Anthropic committed more than $100 billion over 10 years to AWS, securing up to 5 gigawatts of Trainium capacity. Amazon funds the lab. The lab commits to Amazon. AWS grows 37%, the fastest in 18 quarters, at a 39.4% operating margin. The lab's valuation rises. Amazon books the mark. None of that is fraud or fake demand. Marking an investment to an observable price change is ordinary accounting. AWS revenue is invoiced and audited, and $496 billion of contracted commitments sits in the backlog. These remain separate accounting objects. No public disclosure permits netting them into a single exposure. The cash moved the other way. Trailing free cash flow swung from a positive $18.2 billion to an outflow of $7.6 billion, driven by a $66.1 billion year over year rise in property and equipment. Long-term debt went from $65.6 billion at year end to $128.9 billion by June. Then on 30th July, Amazon raised 2026 cash capex to roughly $220 billion from $200 billion and named the cause. Memory prices. Andy Jassy said even at $220 billion the company will not meet all the demand it sees in 2026, expects the same in 2027, and called 2028 demand striking. TrendForce puts conventional DRAM contract prices up 93% to 98% in the first quarter, with another 13% to 18% forecast for the third, against 2027 server memory bit supply growing only 15% to 20%. The machines are getting more expensive. The intelligence is getting cheaper. Anthropic launched Fable-5 on June 9th at $10 and $50 per million tokens. On July 24th Opus 5 arrived at $5 and $25. Artificial Analysis scored Opus 5 at 61 against Fable's 60. 45 days. Half the price. One point higher. On July 29th, Microsoft extended the estimated useful lives of its datacentres and office buildings from 15 years to 25. Every one of those disclosures is accurate and none is improper. No standard requires anyone to report the ratio between them. That ratio is the question. Capability reprices in months. The assets, leases, debt and power contracts financing it mature across decades. The counter-case comes from the operators. Microsoft says roughly two thirds of quarterly capex is short-lived chips it can slow buying, that infrastructure is fungible across model choices, and that efficiency monetises quickly while demand exceeds supply. Amazon says its servers break even inside three years and last five to six. If utilisation, redeployability, contract protection and residual value hold, the mismatch is productive leverage. If they weaken together, duration becomes the loss. The model is a state. Power lies in governing the transition. Risk lies in financing one clock with cash flows set by another.

    @puckrin Amazon confirmed it will issue automatic refunds for items where tarrifs were passed on to consumers. Apple chose to absorb the tariff costs at the expense of shareholders' rather than raising retail prices, which is why they aren't issuing customer refunds.

    FOR THE WILDFIRE CRAZY AND CLIMATE MENTALLY DERANGED The last 150 years is the greatest improvement in the human condition in the entire history of our species. It is not close. Fire is down. US burned area peaked at 52 million acres in 1930. It runs 5 to 10 million now. An 80 percent collapse. Global burned area, measured by satellite since the late 1990s, is down 25 percent. Africa’s savannas, which used to dominate the global burn, have gone quiet as agriculture replaced fire-prone scrub. The planet is greening. Satellite data shows a leaf area increase equivalent to adding one entire Amazon rainforest to the Earth since 2000. Zhu et al. attributed 70 percent of the greening to CO2 fertilization. Deserts are shrinking at their edges. The Sahel is greener than it was 40 years ago. Crops are exploding. Global grain production has more than tripled since 1961 on roughly the same acreage. Yield per hectare on wheat, maize, and rice has quadrupled. Famine deaths per capita have fallen by roughly 99 percent since the 1870s. People live twice as long. Global life expectancy in 1875 was about 30 years. Today it is 73. More than doubled. In the developed world it went from 40 to over 80. Doubled again. Children stop dying. In 1800, 43 percent of children died before age 5. Today it is under 4 percent globally, under 1 percent in the developed world. A tenfold reduction. An order of magnitude. Poverty collapsed. In 1820, roughly 90 percent of humans lived in extreme poverty. Today it is under 9 percent, and falling. Another order of magnitude, while the global population grew from 1 billion to 8 billion. More people, vastly less poverty, per capita and in absolute terms. Everyone can read. Global literacy in 1875 was around 20 percent. Today it is 87 percent. Four times higher across a population that grew six times larger. Everyone got rich. Real GDP per capita globally (Maddison data, constant dollars) went from about $1,200 in 1870 to over $16,000 today. Roughly a fourteenfold increase. In the developed world, more like fiftyfold. Weather stopped killing people. Deaths from climate and weather related disasters peaked in the 1920s and 1930s at around 5 million per year, mostly drought and flood in Asia. Today, with five times the global population, it runs under 20,000 per year. A per capita reduction of over 99 percent. Two full orders of magnitude. Work got easier. Average annual working hours in developed economies fell from around 3,000 in 1870 to about 1,700 today. Roughly half. Child labor collapsed. Leisure exploded. The cause is not a mystery. Fossil fuels. Coal, oil, and natural gas turned muscle labor into machine labor. They powered fertilizer production (Haber-Bosch alone feeds roughly half the humans alive). They powered refrigeration, sanitation, hospitals, tractors, transport, and every step of the industrial food chain. Cheap dense energy is what dragged our species out of the Malthusian trap where it had lived for 10,000 years. And the byproduct of that cheap dense energy, CO2, is the same molecule that is regreening the Earth and boosting crop yields on top of the mechanical gains. Every actual measurement of the human condition and the biosphere shows the same thing. Fires down. Green up. Lifespans up. Child deaths down. Poverty down. Hunger down. Wealth up. Literacy up. Weather deaths down. All by factors of 2 to 100 in a century and a half. The industrial civilization the alarmists want to dismantle is the single largest engine of human and ecological improvement ever recorded. The data are not ambiguous. They are not close. They are not debatable. They are simply denied. By the mentally ill.

    Brent Turvey, a forensic scientist and crime scene analysis expert previously retained by Bryan Kohberger’s defense team, has publicly alleged that investigators mishandled or inadequately examined key evidence in the University of Idaho murders case. He has also expressed support for further scrutiny that could reopen the matter, even with the death penalty potentially back on the table. Kohberger pleaded guilty in July 2025 to four counts of first-degree murder in the November 2022 stabbings of University of Idaho students Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. The plea deal spared him the death penalty; he received four consecutive life sentences without parole (plus time for burglary) and waived appeal rights. Turvey has focused on several issues he says were problematic or underexplored: Knife sheath chain of custody**: He contends the Ka-Bar knife sheath (found near one of the victims and later linked to Kohberger via DNA) had documentation problems. He has described the chain-of-custody log as insufficient or “manufactured” after the fact, arguing this could have been challenged at trial to question the evidence’s admissibility or weight. Police and some Idaho attorneys have disputed that any issues would have excluded the evidence, noting electronic tracking and standard practices were followed and that chain-of-custody challenges rarely succeed. Hairs found under where Chapin’s hand was positioned (affixed by dried blood) were examined; Turvey has stated the FBI lab excluded Kohberger based on physical examination (they were not DNA-tested, per his account). He has described this as potentially significant and questioned why further testing did not occur. Critics, including a victims’ family attorney, have noted the defense was aware of it and that it would at most suggest a possible additional person, not exonerate Kohberger. Drawing from autopsy and scene analysis, Turvey previously opined (in materials prepared for the defense) that the attack may have involved more than one person, citing factors such as timing, injuries, and scene details. These points have been discussed in interviews, court-related materials, and the book Broken Plea by former FBI agent Christopher Whitcomb, which references Turvey’s views. Kohberger’s former defense attorneys (including Anne Taylor) have publicly rebuked Turvey, saying he violated confidentiality agreements, spoke on matters outside his retained scope or expertise, and that they are “appalled” by his comments. Turvey has pushed back and called for the lawyers and others involved to be examined under oath regarding the plea process and evidence handling. Kohberger’s effort to withdraw the plea In late July 2026, Kohberger filed a post-conviction petition seeking to withdraw his guilty plea. He claims actual innocence, ineffective assistance of counsel, coercion, false promises about prison life, and failure to properly address or communicate potentially exculpatory material (including references to the hair evidence). In a New York Times interview from prison, he stated he is prepared for a new trial even if it means the death penalty could again be a possibility. Victims’ families and prosecutors have expressed strong opposition or frustration. Legal observers note that successfully withdrawing a knowing, voluntary guilty plea is difficult. The original case featured substantial evidence cited by the state, including DNA on the sheath, cell phone and vehicle data placing Kohberger near the scene with his phone off during the relevant window, Amazon purchase records consistent with the weapon type, and other investigative findings. Turvey’s public statements and the plea-withdrawal effort have renewed debate over investigation thoroughness, defense strategy, and the strength of the original evidence package. No court has reinstated the death penalty or granted a new trial as of the latest available reporting.

    @KrisPatel99 Not all hyperscalers are same and some(especially Amazon) will still manage to hold it's pricing power and margins. Neoclouds and Oracle may face the issues because neoclouds sell pure compute. On the other hand, AWS has all other services which big enterprises already use. Implosion of openai and Anthropic doesn't mean end of an AI story and demand. Enterprises will still need compute and reliable provider which will host open or closed source model, manage security and integrate with their existing workflows and tools. In that scenario, hyperscalers who have existing enterprise customers are the only ones which will enjoy premium. Whole market is worried about OAI and Anthropic valuation and whether they can pay for compute in future but I don't think CEOs of these companies are stupid to not know all the risks everyone is pointing out. They aren't spending because of OAI/Anthropic, they are spending despite of them. There's a reason Microsoft, Nvidia who invested heavily in these 2 model providers, advocated for open models on twitter and in Washington. They know whichever way this AI boom plays out they will be on top of it.

    Overall Market & Sentiment — Macro: The Fed held at 3.50% to 3.75% in a 9 to 3 vote, the fifth consecutive pause, with Hammack, Kashkari, and Logan dissenting for a quarter-point hike. Warsh declined to offer forward guidance, saying he wants markets to move on economic data rather than Fed commentary, and reiterating there is no soft inflation target. Long-end yields did the work instead: the 30-year hit 5.25%, its highest since 2007, and the 10-year topped 4.7%, while the 2-year fell to 4.24%, a steepening that prices inflation risk rather than tightening. June PCE cooled as expected, with headline down 0.1% on the month and 3.7% year over year (from 4.1%), and core up 0.1% monthly and 3.3% annually. Core has now sat at or above 3.3% for four straight months. The consumer is stretching: real spending rose 0.4% against income growth of 0.2%, pushing the saving rate down to 2.7%. September hike odds sit near 57%; the next FOMC is September 15 to 16, with two labor and two inflation reports between. Oil eased as the U.S. and Iran paused strikes, though the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Fed officials are weighing cutting annual policy meetings below eight, and Warsh signaled the inflation framework could be reviewed next year. Micro: Earnings are extraordinary and increasingly bifurcated. With 304 S&P 500 companies reported, revenue is up 14% and earnings up 47.7% year over year, though that earnings figure is heavily distorted by Alphabet’s one-time $98 billion gain. Every megacap posted double-digit revenue growth, and the market still split them: Microsoft up about 8% to 16% on 43% Azure growth, Amazon up roughly 9% on 37% AWS growth despite raising 2026 capex to $220 billion, Meta down nearly 10% on a raised spend plan, Apple down more than 7% on soft guidance, and Alphabet down 15% earlier on capex fears. Combined 2026 hyperscaler capex now sums to well over $700 billion. Semis are down 23% from highs, memory down 35%, Micron down 41%, and the sector closed its worst month since 2008, even as China’s CXMT surged 531% on debut to become China’s most valuable listed company at $487 billion. 136 more S&P 500 companies report this week. Sentiment: The mood is neither fear nor greed but genuine confusion about who is in charge. A Fed chair who refuses to guide has handed price discovery to the bond market, which responded by pushing the 30-year to a 19-year high while the funds rate stayed frozen. Equity investors, meanwhile, have adopted a new and unforgiving frame on AI: spending is no longer evidence of demand, it is a liability until proven otherwise, and only companies that can point capex at a visible external revenue line get credit. Apple, which barely spends on AI, got graded on the same curve and failed. Crypto sentiment is neutral to soft, with BTC losing its 20-day and ETH holding a trendline. Last week I laid out three Fed scenarios and the actual outcome was a fourth: hold, dissent three ways, and say nothing at all. Warsh’s experiment is now live, and its first result was a 1,153-point Dow drop and a 30-year Treasury back at 2007 levels. If long yields are the transmission channel, every risk asset is now priced off a bond market with no anchor, which is why Wednesday’s move was so violent and Thursday’s reversal on Microsoft equally so. Volatility is the feature, not the bug. Underneath, the real story was the market permanently raising its standard on AI: six megacaps reported, all grew revenue double digits, and the sorting had nothing to do with the size of the spend and everything to do with whether it has a customer attached. Microsoft and Amazon proved it does. Meta could not. Apple got punished for not spending. That is not a rotation, it is a repricing. The first negative July since 2014 arrived alongside the Dow’s fourth straight winning month, as clean a two-speed market as you will get. The Fed handed the keys to the bond market. Watch the 30-year. It’s now the most important price in the world.

    Totally Not Lavistro (@NotLavistro) reported

    @CultClassicCage Look Cas, you’re missing the forest for the trees. Your argument that 'exclusives are bullshit' completely misunderstands how the console ecosystem has actually operated for 40 years. PlayStation isn't 'making more money than ever' because they abandoned exclusivity; they are coasting on legacy momentum and acting as a digital landlord. Let’s look at the actual math and history because you are confusing correlation with causation and ignores structural market realities. Though I agree your last part? 100 and thousand percent factual. In Sony's last quarterly report, physical games brought in just $128 million and full digital downloads hit $1.20 billion. Meanwhile, 'Add-on Content' (microtransactions, DLC, battle passes) pulled in a staggering $1.83 billion. That microtransaction goldmine isn't coming from Sony's games. Independent analysts show live-service games dominate 60% of the AAA market, but they are third-party giants like Fortnite, Call of Duty, and Roblox. Sony makes money because they trap you in their walled garden, then take a 30% cut of every virtual dollar spent on their platform. If you take away the exclusives, people buy a PC or an Xbox, and Sony loses that landlord tax entirely. You assume going multiplatform opens up an unserved market of 147 million active Steam users. The data says otherwise. When God of War Ragnarok launched on PlayStation, it brought in 6.9 million players in its launch month alone. When ported to PC, analytics firms like Ampere Analysis showed it attracted a measly 300,000 players in its launch month. The same exact thing happened to Spider-Man 2 (260k) and Horizon Forbidden West (230k). Sony execs have openly admitted that if PC players were going to buy a console for these games, they already would have. The multiplatform move is a desperate, failed attempt to scrape an extra $15–$20 million out of an old game and dangle a 'taste' to get PC users to buy hardware. It didn't work. When God of War Ragnarok launched on PlayStation (PS5/PS4), it brought in 6.9 million players in its launch month alone. It went on to cross 15 million copies sold primarily on console. If exclusives didn't matter, Nintendo would have gone bankrupt in the GameCube era. The Switch is mathematically one of the weakest boxes on the market, yet it sold over 140 million units because you cannot play Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom anywhere else. And here is the irony. Nintendo while competing with Sony and Microsoft, doesn't really Compete. Aside from Palworld competing with Pokemon, and Nintendo's litiguous history, Its flagship titles and former Family friendly brand keeps it in business. Exclusivity prints money. We see this with Halo. You could arguing buying a Sony computer to play halo on steam. But one problem. The majority of operating systems on PC are Windows. Windows and XBOX are microsoft owned. You might as well argue putting xbox OS and hardware in a PS5 case and call it a Playstation but its not. It wont read PS5 discs or go to a Playstation store. Sony entered this generation with 117 million PS4 users. This generation has been entirely defined by sequels (God of War Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2) and endless remakes/remasters (The Last of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn). Sony’s first-party sales have been declining for 5 years because they aren't making groundbreaking new IPs. Look at Concord. When a company is winning and expanding, they drop hardware prices to get into more homes (the PS2/PS4 playbook). Instead, Sony just raised the price of the PS5 in multiple regions. Look at consumer behavior—even my own. I bought a Switch specifically because I have a son, despite being a Zelda fanatic. My last console from nintendo was the Game Cube. That means I skipped two gens. I wasnt a PC gamer yet. I was Xbox, 360, and one before full PC. I play PC with an Xbox controller. I might as well play on Console right? Except the future Xbox S/X titles didn't justify buying a new console. I haven't Bought a Playstation since the OG because God of War didn't justify getting the next gen. We buy hardware for the software tethered to it. The market data of a multi-billion-dollar macroeconomic industry reduces your argument down to: 'That's not fair, I want to play the game on the platform I already own.' Its the same with Asmondgold. That whining (sorry cas, thats how I read it) has existed since Mario and Sonic in 1991. Don't get it twisted, I am not defending Sony here. I'm saying the data proves that exclusives establish console superiority and always have since the Atari days. Sony go where the money is: microtransactions. As scummy and predatory as that sounds, the only use for First Party titles now and in the past is to sell a "1,200 premium console bundle." The ecosystem argument is moot here. Though it's true Sony is trying very hard to shift into a monopoly, that isn't for the console itself. They are actively trying to destroy the aftermarket and choke off external sales so there is no retail rival to their store. They want to dictate the prices, how you play, and how long you lease their game. If Astro Bot 2 isn't hitting sales targets but the original Astro Bot still is, a completely digital architecture means they can simply pull the first game to force sales for the sequel. THAT is a distribution monopoly. Sony has actively battled massive antitrust class-action lawsuits because they banned third-party retailers like Amazon or GameStop from selling digital game download codes. They forced 100% of digital traffic into their own storefront to stop price matching, leading to data that shows physical retail games can end up drastically cheaper than their stagnant digital store alternatives. We can argue that the exclusives are what keep players trapped, but that's a bubble. In the end, it comes down to the exact same value proposition players have faced since the Atari era: Is paying for premium hardware worth it to play a specific game? If you do not have independent retail stores rivaling the manufacturer's pricing, that calculation shatters. It completely stops being about whether a massive premium console bundle is worth a baseline game, and turns into an ecosystem where you lose the freedom of the $45 preowned GameStop sale, standard $70 or $80 choices, or catching an independent markdown. Once they completely kill off the physical market alternative, the choice disappears. This consumer betrayal will eventually lead to a catastrophic drop in PS6 sales, even if Sony includes a disc drive. It collapses the value proposition entirely and leads down a slippery slope where 'Everything is a PlayStation.' Just look at what the Phil Spencer era did to Xbox by diluting its identity—this exact storefront overreach will eventually ruin Sony. The moment PlayStation forces itself to compete purely as a digital storefront, it has to stand face-to-face against established PC titans like Steam, Itchio, Epic Games Store, and GOG. And under that pressure, maybe Epic's Tim Sweeney will finally secure a massive consumer marketplace victory beyond Amazon's Luna. This is because Sony isn't consumer-friendly. Look at the structural pivot we just saw at Microsoft—Xbox realized their ecosystem was in free fall and completely cleared house, bringing in Asha Sharma to radically overhaul leadership and rebuild around actual consumer value like Valve has done for decades. Sony hasn't learned that lesson and they utterly balk at GOG’s philosophy that when you buy a game, you actually own it. Once the box loses its exclusive identity, the hardware dies, the user base evaporates, and that 'record-breaking' microtransaction revenue vanishes with it. Unless like Sega, you have an IP portfolio that can successfully transition to being entirely third-party—and as we see, it doesn't work for platform holders. We can agree to disagree Cas, we always have times where we do, but the facts tell a completely different story from what I'm seeing.

    Tariffs passed down to customers and refunded to Amazon. I must admit, impressive scheme.

    @m_rosenbloom28 First half of the first season was kind slow and hard to get thru, but after that it got really really good. I way so mad at syfy for canceling it that I haven't watched their channel since. @amazon, be waned, im not the only one like me. #SaveStargate

    @DefiantLs I've used Amazon this week. My building at work uses Starlink. This computer uses Microsoft products. What exactly is his problem with my voluntary transactions with Bezos, Musk and Gates? Being a billionaire usually means making millions of lives easier and better.

    Waiting on a parcel from amazon is a real bastard. If you aren't at the door ready to receive it, it could end up anywhere. Down the neighbours chimney, your black bin, the workman's skip. ..😒

    @HarrisonHSmith The claim captures the core dynamic of the 2025–2026 IEEPA tariffs (the broad “emergency” tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act), which a February 2026 Supreme Court ruling invalidated, triggering large court-ordered refunds. Tariff costs and consumers Tariffs are paid by the U.S. importer (typically a company), not by foreign exporters or directly by end consumers. Economic analyses of the 2025 tariffs found that the large majority of the economic burden fell on U.S. firms and consumers through higher import prices, with substantial pass-through into consumer prices: - Studies (including from the New York Fed and others) estimated that roughly 86–94% (or more in some periods/methodologies) of the incidence was borne domestically rather than by foreign exporters. - Price data and models showed measurable upward pressure on consumer prices (e.g., contributions to CPI/PCE inflation, higher costs on durables and various imported goods categories). Estimates of the household burden in 2025 were on the order of roughly $1,000 on average in some analyses. - Pass-through was not always instantaneous or 100% in every product line—companies sometimes absorbed part of the cost, adjusted supply chains, or raised prices on competing domestic goods—but the overall pattern was higher prices paid by American buyers. This matches the historical pattern from earlier rounds of tariffs as well: the tax is largely borne domestically. Refunds After the Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs, the Court of International Trade ordered refunds (with interest) of the duties that had been collected. These go to the importers of record—the companies that paid Customs in the first place. Estimates of the total eligible amount have been in the range of roughly $150–180+ billion. - Large companies (Amazon, Apple, Walmart, auto makers, etc.) have been major recipients. Examples reported include Amazon receiving around $600–640 million and Apple noting a multi-billion-dollar boost to gross margin. - The process has favored larger, sophisticated importers; smaller firms have faced more friction and slower recovery. - There is no automatic government refund to individual consumers. Companies decide what to do with the money. Some (notably Amazon) have said they will proactively refund customers in limited, traceable cases where specific tariff costs were passed on, or use funds in ways that could support lower prices more generally. Many others have treated the refunds as improving margins/profits, with limited or no firm commitment to direct consumer rebates. In short: the initial higher costs were widely passed through to (or absorbed in ways that affected) consumers and businesses, while the legal refunds flow to the corporate importers who remitted the duties. Some of that money is being shared with customers in specific situations, but a substantial portion is not automatically or fully returned to the people who paid higher retail prices. This is a common feature of how tariff refunds work when duties are later found invalid—they reimburse the party that paid the government, not necessarily the ultimate end buyer.

    @mylandros I have thought this about Apple and Amazon tbh. Let the others take all the risk and buy in later. It's not crazy. We need to show that AI can make money in the enterprise. GPUs and TPUs used to depreciate over 4 years. We can extend the lifetime because we can use older hardware for inference so they depreciate over 6 years now. But that's just accounting. There's no way the world puts another $1T into this if we can't do better. I'm confident we can. But the labs are being stupid. They have all the worlds' geniuses focused on making the best possible chatbot. That's changing. Agentic workloads are becoming more important. Chat was never the correct primitive. The one model to rule them all strategy will fail and we will see "smaller" (still 1-10T parameters) that are good at their task (chat, coding, agentic workloads) and with different cost, "intelligence", speed tradeoffs. The problem is that the market will not be so patient. It's a race. The last year of my life has been spent teaching founders how to properly build agentic systems. Everything in the community is wrong. Everything. X has no clue.

    I've wasted thousands of dollars on terrible products to sell Spent many, many hours finding no inventory And yet time in the game still led to a semi-passive $2M/year Amazon business now The only thing that separates us from the big dogs is consistency

    First, what Amazon's default Kindle settings are actually optimized for. Amazon sells Kindles close to cost, sometimes at a loss, because the device isn't really the product. The product is the ongoing purchase of ebooks, and later, the Kindle Unlimited subscription. The device's job is to get you reading Amazon-purchased content as frictionlessly as possible — not necessarily to make your specific reading experience as comfortable as it could be. That's why so many quality-of-life settings sit buried three menus deep, off by default, while the "Buy Now with 1-Click" button sits one tap away from anywhere in the interface. The friction is asymmetric on purpose. He said the irony was familiar from his time on the device team: there are roughly a dozen settings that fix almost every common Kindle complaint. Most ship off, because the team optimizing "time to purchase" and the team responsible for "reading comfort" were not, in his experience, optimizing for the same metric. Here are the changes he made.

    The premium coffee supply chain is weirdly fragmented — beans on roaster sites, gear on Amazon, filters scattered somewhere. Built Quarrybean to fix that. One storefront, every bean and every piece of gear, curated and matched to your brew style instead of dumped as 50,000 SKUs.

    @AmazonHelp So, is there a specific reason for this delay? Like a temporary problem with your logistics? Or if this is a new normal then I see no point paying for a prime membership for such delayed deliveries.

    @Scottcrypt00 @PhedEU Actually not the way I did it. Interestingly people were very it interested in AFFORDABLE tech and also I got MULTIPLE videos out of each item…. I didn’t just do one time reviews but also tutorials on how to use the hardware and many cases the videos on whether it’s worth it and also features showcase videos. Any product got 4-6 videos so that offset that. Also once I had good solid traction on videos I did outreach to brands for review units… with no guarantee I would make a video and no upfront money, and they had no control over the video. Also reached out around emerging tech or company products other people weren’t covering but that I found had some search volume of buzz in online communities… niche communities… Drawing tablets were a good example. Public Speaking gave me access to Expos and Conventions where I could have early access with no embargo to products and just make reviews hands on in real life… I had a near viral video (viral for me) from being EARLY before embargo on the Microsoft Surface Studio… because I was speaking at Adobe Max… So I had already figured out in the early days of YouTube how to get around the costs part of it. For camera reviews I was already a paid contributor for magazines and eventually got with a company that had a publication tied to a camera rental company… so that also gave me product access to loaner units for cameras and lenses to review. On top of reviewing anything I upgraded for my YouTube channel. So I cracked the code early for this sort of thing. I was also so good at Amazon affiliate marketing I was getting sent products all the time to the point of turning things down. Almost all of this could be duplicated by someone starting in that niche today… Keep in mind I also was doing software tutorials and reviews and round ups of free software or software I already paid for and this content was pure profit and today has even higher RPMs Tutorial channels and tutorial channels focused on AI tools are pure profit margin even today but people don’t talk about that niche because it’s not glamorous compared to being a gamer or vlogger… but it prints money…

    @FluentInFinance Well, Amazon is a poor example of that. Most of us order stuff weekly on that platform, having it delivered straight to our door at a competitive price. That is trickle down: improved quality of life for no extra money.
