Just had a couple of orders get cancelled as well.

    Interesting video, but please post videos about politics to c/politicalvideos

    Edit: For context, since a lot of community members were asking for us to block political vids, we put it up to a community vote, and people asked to break political and non-political vids into separate communities.

    This is actually a very positive thing from the insanity, at first it will inconvenience users but then they will get used to looking elsewhere.

      I’d rather people got used to just going without instead. Grab a book, go outside under a tree. Read the book.

      Cancel subscriptions, cancel memberships, cancel reoccuring costs. Buy food, and quality items. Stop buying ‘smart’ shit.

      You need none of this junk. Stop feeding the machine. Make them hurt. We control ALL the power.

        Ironic that you say “grab a book”, when one of the largest booksellers in the world, putting all smaller booksellers out of business, is the thing we’re all railing against. Do you realize how much of a monopoly they have on all corners of the market? It’s not just “smart shit”.

        I’ve been boycotting all amazon subsidiaries and affiliates for over a year now, so I’m not suggesting that we shouldn’t, but that’s easier said than done. This comment is displaying levels of ignorance to which I can only respond “gee thanks, I’m cured”.

        In fact, several of my favorite authors have exclusive contracts with amazon, because it’s more financially viable for them.

        ETA: in fact, consider that, even if everyone with a prime subscription canceled right now, it would barely even impact their bottom line, because most of their entire revenue stream comes from AWS.

        Still he’s a greedy billionaire, I don’t think he’s in the habit of saying oh I make more money over there anyway so who cares about the money I’m losing here. They tend to want all the money everywhere all the time. That’s why they’re a disease.

      He had certain assurances…Information that would be wildly lucrative given the stock market rapid changes every time Trump said something stupid on twitter or his publicly traded social media company.

    It’d be nice if it happened. I guess most of their products (also everyone else’s) are probablyade in China.
