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

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

    I hope Americans join us.

      I canceled back in 2024. Inconvenient sometimes, but overall I’ve been fine without it.

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

        ebay

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

    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.

    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.

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

      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…))
