no problem (@sanchit9213) reported@0xPrajwal_ Trust me entire us stock market is built over priced , but i am not saying it will go down hill, because thats US and their companies no one is going to ask about the profit in next 10 years , they will ride on the hype till they make it, amazon did for 10 years till they profit

kumbhkar (@terramatera) reported@LostHistory9 I read all that and was feeling like..hmm.. i guess i could get behind it and then i scrolled down and saw the disastrous helmet again and laughed Oh noly, this looks like cheap sheet metal they use to make the cheapest industrial style furniture on Amazon

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
-
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?

FieldsOfProfit (@fieldsofprofit) reportedAmazon labels are messed up for a lotta people right now @Boxem pushed a quick update to make sure this doesn’t slow you down
-
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.

Rival (@realjacobsrival) reported@theseus365 @soblackandblue @yhdistyminen It’s terrible. Let Costco and Amazon sell insurance in bulk to people on a national level and overnight it will be great.

. (@cheese_not_soup) reported@Alvaroprofe_CC @dualipafeeds Sorry I want the Amazon warrior daughter of Zeus to actually look like she’s been training since birth how to be an Amazon warrior instead of a model fresh off of the runway who looks like she could get knocked down by a gust of high speed wind.

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

stealth210 (@stealth2101) reported@SaffranMihnar @SawyerMerritt @Starlink The market is discussing it in real time, right here, in this thread. I don't think there's anything to debate. Slow high orbit internet, kinda faster LEO Amazon with 1% of the sats as Starlink or full blown Starlink at 40,000 feet. What sounds good to you?

quincygaming28 (@QuincyGaming28) reported@StochasticTerr1 @Bernlennials why would i need to own the robot? i could just pay some company like amazon for a service to take one day to cut down a tree or fix my pipes. i find it hilarious how pro ai you are while thinking it'll just magically not be used to undercut trades
-
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
-
rob (@RobertSecundus) reported@dano_cosmic partially, though, a lot of these problems come down to amazon, not just the big 2. Comixology was allowing/ forcing some change, but amazon's purchase effectively doomed digital direct market comics.
-
YetiPersisted (@YPersisted) reported@adcock_brett A human moving this slow would be fired from Amazon in about an hour.

Techegic (@Techegic) reportedThis isn't isolated. Meta, Microsoft, Amazon — same pattern in recent quarters. Revenue up. Headcount down. AI cited as cause. Cloudflare just said it out loud. 2/6

John McFadden (@scotlandyes3) reported@AllyMcavoy33409 @FreddyAarpoon I was laughing to myself today in Princes Street Gardens looking up at the MASSIVE Amazon billboard on Princes Street. Not that long ago a neon sign in a shop on Gorgie Road had to be taken down. The council don’t give a **** now. What has happened?
-
JessJJ (@JessieJJ1645) reported@AmazonHelp You all should stand behind your customers and train your “supervisors” to have some respect and class while handling an issue! Margarita needs better training or a new job that is not dealing with customers! It’s beyond ridiculous that I’ve not been help over $634.81!!

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..

Chunky Boy Dinner (@Chunkyboydinner) reported@MatrixMysteries This is loser mentality. That’s the problem with you snowflakes you still think that after all of that waste of time in college- that you’re entitled to any job you want. I couldn’t get hired at 7/11 or Amazon lol so I started my own business and now everyone can suck my ****.

Colin (@ColinN69630) reported@brianpbatch @amazon Amazon did speak with me. They tried to help, and now I have my package. Do I need to wait on a friend to help every time I get a package? The real problem is the USPS.
-
REY ¿ COMMS OPEN (@reyzplatter) reported@DonalTDeLay "First world problems" brother I live in ******* Colombia. This also ignores comics that aren't being sold on Amazon either, or the fact you need a kindle for that. Not only that but comics depends mkre on physical sales than digital ones
-
Lebensfreudeladen (@Wielgoss) reported@ChMuinar 15 years on Amazon — funds withheld since July 2025 despite completed deliveries and no open claims. Amazon hides behind broken “mandatory” video verification while refusing alternatives. A system designed to exhaust sellers.#Amazon #SellerCentral

John Fiorello (@JohnFiorello) reported@AmazonHelp @oK4t4No I'm also having the same problem. East Coast USA

Wayne L. Cass 🇺🇸 🚔 ⚔️ 🏴 (@Wiggiefifes65) reported@SStricklandMMA A little Mercurochrome will fix it, $9 on Amazon.

LinaEsMarEs (@LinaEsMarEs) reported@AmazonHelp Hi, thank you for your response. The issue is that I am not properly able to access or recover my account through my email address because my Amazon account appears to be linked mainly to my phone number.
-
Maksim Miat (@makmiat) reportedEven Amazon failed to scale robotics. The problem isn't AI — it's broken economics. Konnex fixes that: PoPW verification + stablecoin payouts. Machines become independent agents. @konnex_world #DePIN

D Scott (@Nuclear0s) reported@amazon EXCELLENT customer service, my granddaughter's birthday present was accidentally taken from her front porch by UPS driver but Amazon customer server sent out a new one immediately. Only took 7 minutes total. AMZN has its mojo back
