    @mburm201 I never thought I would live to see the day that a company like Alphabet or Amazon, in just two years, would need to issue bonds for capital expenditures. They were both sitting on mountains of cash - and printing more all the time - and it still wasn't enough.

    Most Amazon PPC scaling mistakes start with one assumption: More spend will automatically create more growth. It won’t. Increasing bids and budgets before confirming profitability often produces more clicks, more waste, and weaker efficiency. Sustainable scaling should be led by signals, not spend. This Amazon PPC Scaling Strategy breaks down the difference between spend-led and signal-led growth 👇 ✅ Win visibility from proven shopper intent ✅ Set break-even and target ACoS before raising bids ✅ Scale search terms with repeat profitable orders ✅ Evaluate placements using profit data ✅ Choose bid strategies based on conversion evidence ✅ Fund campaigns with stable, profitable demand ✅ Add negatives only after enough data ✅ Automate around repeatable performance ✅ Scale when profit and conversion remain stable The goal is not to spend more as quickly as possible. The goal is to increase investment only when the data proves that demand is profitable, repeatable, and ready to scale. That is how sales and contribution profit grow together.

    Everyone building custom AI chips has the same problem… They still have to talk to the rest of the rack. Amazon, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic are all designing their own silicon so they don't have to buy as many GPUs. Nvidia's answer is not to fight every ASIC. It's to own the socket they plug into. Nvidia is an AI infrastructure company… That's the play. Cede the custom chip, keep the factory. Nvidia is the landlord of the AI boom.

    AWS grew 37% last quarter, its fastest in eighteen, and carries $496 billion of contracted backlog. That is the bull case and I am not going to pretend otherwise. Anthropic committed over $100 billion to AWS across ten years, so Anthropic is the customer here and Amazon is the landlord. The loop is the problem. Amazon owns a piece of its own customer and books the gains as profit, and the number I would watch from here is depreciation, because $220 billion of capex on a six-year life adds about $37 billion a year of it once the kit switches on. Amazon's own free cash flow already ran negative $7.6 billion.

    @JeffBezos Hello Sir it is very strange that dot com after having delivered order 112-4930501-0857865 on Aug 20 they have put my next 4 orders on hold for a week now on payment method issue. My Payment method/ card is same. Kindly look into this @AmazonHelp

    @OrwellDay Of course, it's about surveillance. But I think some of it has to do with propping up the "economy" and stock market. Outside of gold/silver, the top companies are Nvidia, Apple, Google, MS, and Amazon. If these companies slow down or fail, so does the economy. The tech/AI bubble

    @AmazonHelp While I was waiting for you guys to respond, I was able to bypass your AI chat & speak to someone. Submitted a ticket for me for this issue. Hope you guys fix it. I use amazon for my business and spend a lot of money. No joke. This change will make me not even want to use amazon.

    @steph25950 @lilbabygandhi A 20 server room is not the same as an Amazon warehouse sized data center. Hope that helps

  • frugalbc

    Listened to a really interesting podcast from Derek Thompson on data centers that gave me second thoughts. Pro-data center people are right about the water and electricity concerns being more smoke than fire. But there are other, less billboard-like concerns that are worth paying attention to. For instance, the companies that build these center come to the negotiating table with small towns and villages, or even small cities, with huge teams of high-powered attorneys. They come with NDAs, and they pressure officials to stick to the NDA against the precepts of open governance. And with a diminished media environment, they often get away with it. I found out this happened in my own area. A village to the south of me approved tax incentives for an Amazon Warehouse. They dealt with a broker and approved incentives without disclosing to the public the recipient. Not even they knew! Funny thing is that Amazon actually rejected the incentives and built it anyway. (Which is a funny rebuttal of the "but, for" clause in these tax incentives. They're only supposed to be for projects that wouldn't happen if not for the incentives.) Coupled with that is land use/value concerns. Similar to wind farm projects, where you place them matters. There are concerns about noise, property value impacts, etc. And local control. Our county just passed a moratorium so it can develop policies around data center buildings. I guess the bottom line is that it is a complicated issue, and should be treated as such.

    I have yet to try Amazon ads for my books because I heard other authors who’ve been doing them for years say they’re only getting more expensive and not working as well. I’m guessing this is why they’re more expensive.

    CrowdWisdom for $AMZN (SHORT): Why I'm Watching the $258 Level for a Potential Move What's interesting is that the primary driver for Amazon today is the reported FTC lawsuit regarding advertising price manipulation. When I look at what professional traders are discussing, there's a consensus that this news creates a genuine overhang on the stock's performance for the session. Several traders pointed out that while the company's long-term cloud potential remains, the immediate intraday sentiment is weighed down by the potential for legal costs and structural business concerns. The main thing I'm watching is the price action around the $258 mark. Multiple traders have identified this as a critical resistance level for today. If the stock can't reclaim this area, the path of least resistance appears to be lower. It's a tricky setup because we're near support, but the news-driven volume suggests that sellers are currently in the driver's seat. Here's my take for today's session: I'm leaning short given the technical resistance and the news-driven sentiment. I'd look to initiate a position if the stock fails to push through that $258 resistance level. I'm keeping my stops tight around $258.30, and if it breaks, I'll protect my capital. My targets for today are $253.50 followed by a move toward $250.00. Please remember to manage your risk and stick to your plan for today-volatility can strike quickly when legal news is involved.

    @amazon @AmazonHelp I need your attention on a situation. Original payment method is not working, I switched over to X Money and it’s still not working. Amazing you took Amazon Music from my X Money but not my transaction. How did that happen? I updated my card to pay for goods not Amazon Music. Please DM me ASAP.

    @J_Millus_MT You literally just posted on one. That’s one good reason. Here is another perspective: You literally just took up some space on a hard drive in one of them. You made a little tiny bit of an existing data center store your data permanently, and a rich guy now pays to keep it there for your good experience on their app. That hard drive is now used. Existing online services scale out, not up. It’s not really feasible to scale up. Amazon didn’t become what it is today because it only needed one data center or one warehouse. It scaled out, not up. A data center is the logistical backbone of the internet. We need more of them to scale out, not up. Scaling up is limited by technological progress like hardware and it is the only alternative if we aren’t allowed to build new ones. With AI data centers, it’s the same exact problem but with GPU compute. Thousands of people using the internet every day justify the expansion of data centers. Otherwise you can expect all of your data backups, your online content, or access to certain services to go obsolete and get deleted so a new data center doesn’t have to be made.

    More importantly, getting a real person to resolve this has become a nightmare. Amazon used to make customer support simple; now it feels like customers are being pushed through endless loops. Please look into this. I’ll keep raising this until my issue is resolved.

    The VAT guy! (@JBCVAT) reported

    @TheRising_Moon It's a thorny problem for sure. I've had clients with 3-4 VAT registered companies simply because Amazon doesn't like successful merchants on their platform selling too much, so clients have had to split their trades to avoid Amazons algorithms.
