If they want Prime cancellations en masse they are getting them. At least in Europe.

I hope Americans join us.

[-] uberdroog@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Already done. Don't forget ebay, PayPal and twitch.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

I already boycot ebay and paypal, but are they tied to Amazon? Venmo is also a paypal company.

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

ebay

Pretty sure there's some good reason to boycott them, but they're not Amazon.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Guessing they're mentioning popular American companies

Jeff Amazon? Questionable motives? Nooooooo it couldn’t be!

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

No one questions Jeff's motives. We all know what his motives are.

Bribe!

I don't understand why that's so difficult to grasp. It's very obvious.

The Trumps pocketed $28 million from it directly, and I think it's the most Amazon has ever paid to acquire a single movie/documentary ($40 mil to make it and $34 mil or so to market).

I mean they'd totally do that because of how popular this administration is and how much everyone loves Melania and wants to learn about her right? /s Totally not to curry favour and get tax breaks or deals with the government.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

It’s NYT. They know. They just can’t admit that.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 3 weeks ago

I can't wait for it to not get any Oscar Nominations, and have Trump go ape shit like he does about the Nobel Pace Prize.

But it's for Melania, so maybe he won't care. More likely he'll demand an Oscar for both of them. Or maybe he'll just steal hers. None of those would surprise me.

He knows the leaders of the United States have their thumb on the scales! They shoulda given the award to ~~me~~ melania! Now he's going to have to invade the country that hosts the Oscars....

Shame really. Gif

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 5 points 3 weeks ago

I think it's motives are pretty fucking clear. Those critics are either being very careful or complete morons.

[-] Lexam@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

How could you question Amazon's motives!?

[-] Chais@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Right‽ Has Amazon and Jeff Bezos ever shown even a hint of ulterior motivation? Unbelievable!

^(^(I really hope I'm laying the sarcasm on thick enough for everyone to notice…))

[-] TomMasz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

You guys have questions?

[-] Hapankaali@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

9/11 has critics questioning Bin Laden's motives

[-] FishFace@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

It's not really a question, is it

[-] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago
