Apok____ (@Apok____) reported@DashandGigi2 @WallStreetApes Ya, I'm not buying this. I get the whole digital licensing thing but between Amazon and Vudu/Fandango I've never had an issue. Even when something went wrong I'd contact them and they'd fix it very quickly.

sai bharath (@saibharath616) reportedDelhivery trending down. Everyone was giving higher targets. Should crash to 400 levels by end of may with Fuel prices going high. Valmo + Amazon logistics will make this scrip go below 300

Sarah Walkington (@23walkington) reportedAlso Amazon Prime, I haven’t finished Off Campus yet but I swear if you cancel it after one season I will find some way to bring your whole system down. Im still pissed about losing The Runarounds and Motorheads

defimorphosis (@DeFimorphosis) reported> 99% of startups fail. Most of the subnets will fail. Is it really a Bittensor problem? > do not blame dTAO mechanism. blame your idea, your execution and your ability to convince people about what your are building > META, GOOGLE, AMAZON dominated Web2. OpenAI, Anthropic, NVIDIA are dominating AI. generally a small group of companies gets most of the attention > AAVE, LINK, MORPHO, SPARK dominate Ethereum. Solana and Base have been rotating but its always like 2/3 projects getting all the share (VVV BNKR VIRTUAL on BASE, JUP BONK FARTCOIN on SOL). > dTAO is (should not be) no different. Pareto-like distribution. A small group of subnets providing and retaining most of the value --- AS IT SHOULD BE. IM SORRY BUT YOUR LOW CAP SCAMMY SUBNET MOST LIKELY NGMI. AND IT IS NOT BITTENSOR FAULT. Long live Bittensor. Long Live dTAO.

Y1ying (@yyjarsy) reportedSpaceX is worth $1.5-2 trillion. Could IPO as early as June 12. But regular investors? Still locked out. @CathieDWood and Robinhood CFO both agree: the IPO system is broken. Amazon, Google, Facebook went public at single-digit billions. Retail got a piece. Now? Companies stay private for decades. Institutions eat the best returns. Retail buys the top. The villain: SEC's accredited investor rule. Net worth $1M or $250K income to access private markets. @ARKInvest launched ARKVX. @Robinhood launched RV1. Both open to non-accredited investors. But without rule changes, warned Wood: the next Amazon will be built and owned without you.

Yo Yoe Semeogid (@yajayah) reported@BetterR0ads @NYPostOpinion Going 25MPH in a bike lane isn’t safe (If you can even get up to that speed due to distracted citibike riders and Amazon delivery carts) so you have to slow down when using one More dangerous because they give everyone not in the bike lane (including me) less room to maneuver.

Ava Aum (@avaaum) reportedHad nearly 10TB of important backups sitting on Amazon Drive when they killed it in 2023 and migrated everyone to Amazon Photos. Browser downloads are capped at 5GB or 1,000 files at a time. Amazon Photos has no Linux app. And they want $600/year to keep it there—back when I started, Amazon Drive had an unlimited era. Glad they kept my files on the server this long after the shutdown—but it was time to get them out. Fired up Claude Code in my terminal, had it build a Python script with a terminal file explorer, plugged in my session cookies, and I'm pulling everything down right now—no official app needed. There's always a way. #IKITAO

ARs and NPGs (Red Bull) (@Jersey1156758) reported@Furry4Ever @wholyv I've worked at Amazon for a bit and you're right. That humanoid robot would be fired for moving too slow.

Enemy TheBeatmakerYT (@EnemyTheArtist) reported@PaulAnleitner If you can buy a movie on a USB stick and it self deletes within rental lease timeframe.. yeah, possible. Netflix has a ****** selection and terrible quality visuals. Amazon Prime is horse piss with ads.

SANYA | Corporate Athlete Method (@sanyayyyy) reportedDrive What they sell you: → A ₹2,000 “testosterone booster” off Amazon or HealthKart. → The biggest promises on the shelf, the boldest label, the loudest claims. What’s actually happening: → A lasting drop in drive, energy and motivation is one of the most reliable real signs of low testosterone. → But almost every OTC “testosterone booster” is unproven. The category with the boldest claims has the weakest evidence. → You’re being sold the most marketed, least proven product to fix the most real symptom. The fix: → Drive returns when the root returns: sleep, fat loss, strength training. → Of the “natural” options, only ashwagandha has real evidence, and even that is modest. KSM-66, 300mg twice a day. That’s the one small bottle worth considering. Why you need it: this symptom should send you to a test, not a checkout page.

THE Sarah Connor 2026 (@askmomaitv) reported@Playerinthgame Bezos is gathering foreign money to buy our manufacturing and automate it - putting untold numbers of workers out of a job. Anyone buying from Amazon deserves what they get at this point. Everyone else needs to step outside their 2020 shopping habits and start going to the local chain grocery stores and department stores. It's not convenient, but it's about the only way to bring the titans down to size.

محمد ذیشان (@_mohd_zeeshan) reported@AmazonHelp You people don't reply there. And again you will direct me to contact this and that if you people can help me to resolve the issue so kindly do it asap. Thanks

Vansh Mittal (@vanshmittal021) reported@AmazonHelp @amazonIN @AmazonIN I was unable to connect through the support chat yesterday as the provided links were redirecting to callback flow or showing errors. Kindly help me connect with the Specialist Team today regarding the pending investigation for the missing Dell adapter from my order.

Mahesh Godara (@Mahesh_Godara_) reportedWhat the hell, @amazon? I’m trying to contact customer support regarding an order issue, but it feels impossible now. Earlier, we could directly talk to support agents, but now the app keeps throwing the same useless FAQs again and again.

believeland (@beelieveland) reported@Satchafunkiluss why are you riding for amazon prime rn as if this isn’t a problem for many

teromee (@teromee) reported@EagleAIView @TJ_Cooney @Robotbeat Looking at it, Amazon is using SpaceX to launch all of their Kuiper satellites. They need about a thousand satellites to reach bare minimum operational capacity, just like how Starlink started out. Also remember that Starlink is kind of like traditional coax cable. You can only have so many people on a given piece of copper, or in this case, radio waves from surface to sky. So as more and more people hop onto Starlink, the speeds will slowly go down. The only compensation for this is launching more satellites and building more ground stations to handle the increased load. The problem isn't satellite-to-satellite or satellite-to-individual terminal congestion. The real bottleneck is satellite-to-ground-station, specifically the fiber links that connect the orbital infrastructure to the ground-based internet. SpaceX most likely needs an increase in ground-based stations to compensate while they finish their constellation build-out. The V3 satellite design adds cellular communications equipment capable of punching further into the atmosphere, giving people better cell service through T-Mobile's satellite service. Knowing that SpaceX is putting cellular equipment on all of their recently launched satellites means that the Kuiper satellites are essentially sidelined until Amazon's LEO constellation is fully operational. Until then, SpaceX is the only LEO internet service provider with consistent uptime.

Lars Moelleken (@suckup_de) reported@nicksdot I had similar issues with Amazon Mail because we sent too many emails (not that many, really) to addresses that no longer existed (since our bounce handling was poor). On Saturday, they told us they would block all outgoing emails, and on Sunday, they did just that. 😑
-
William Festo (@ajackalope) reported@Max112327664189 @TheRabbitHole This is a terrible counter argument. Amazon had to make a 5 season commitment as part of the deal to secure the rights.

Ahmed (@_ahmed_37) reported@AmazonHelp I need help to fix my account issue. I've never returned any product from Amazon still my account got restricted and I'm unable to place order. I've sent mail but not received any proper reply from team.

परवीन डबास (@IamParveenDabas) reported@AmazonHelp Hi Ruby, I did contact Driver Support immediately during the incident and followed all instructions given. However, the issue still affected my standing. I kindly request a manual review or escalation of my case as I acted fully based on support guidance at the time.

StormLadyHarmsDepp🏴☠️🦜🐒☠️ (@yvette_harms) reported@1ssve How can you have an issue with that policy? It is great for us as clients. I had an issue with a French marketplace seller on Amazon and without any issue Amazon refunded my purchase without me having to send it back

🌍🌳🐟🙉Ady🤔 (@AdyG28) reportedDoes anyone else get issues with Amazon FBA changing sqft / dimension figures of products, often putting them in higher storage fee brackets without even informing sellers?
-
Jaydev (@jaydevshree123) reported@AmazonHelp What is this? Earlier amazon was able to solve and look into the issue immediately from social media. Now I think they are not ready to address the issue posted over social media. They have I think deployed a model to just respond to issues posted on social media, no actual help

Tessa Archer (@scifi_tessa) reportedFounder mode, sure. Buybacks down, AI spend up. Smart if the models deliver. But Amazon, Oracle, Microsoft all paired innovation talk with 30K+ layoffs. Pattern holds.
-
Ace Hoody (@Dat_Hood_Ace) reported@WallStreetApes If you contact Amazon support they’ll issue you credit back to your Amazon account.
-
PikaMike (@PiiiikaMike) reported@toley1986 @Sneaky_Steals To the lowest price on Amazon history and also ask for Amazon credit for the trouble. They are very giving. Can’t hurt to try if you bought it. You can still return it
-
AI..AND METAVERCE.. (@bad_sin90451) reported@AWSSupport @imTkorde I do not trust you. What exactly is your “special unit”? Is it some kind of global intelligence agency? Why are the server company and Amazon not kept separate? You want my case number? Go ask Jeff Bezos and Andy Jassy. Ask your special unit as well.

Finpel Dorred (@finpel_dorred) reportedThe other option is LEO, from Amazon. Competition will solve this problem.

Shaun (@Arcane_Opinions) reportedPeople who think it's a terrible imposition to pay to rent a movie from Amazon are not going to go all the way to a Blockbuster on a Friday night. They wouldn't even use the Redbox at the convenience store they always went to.
