  This guy built an AI girl in his kitchen and set her up to sell cream on Amazon, and from 1 viral video he made $10,000. Most people who work with this tool use it for OnlyFans influencers. This guy found a different use. He signed up for Amazon Affiliate, picked a jar of cream with a good commission, and sat down to make a viral video in one evening. Before this, AI influencers were built specifically for OnlyFans and Patreon, for subscriptions, personal messages, and a long parasocial contract with the viewer. Now the same tools go into Amazon affiliate, where the funnel is shorter: 1 video on TikTok, 1 click on the description, 1 purchase a few hours later. And it got more interesting: ViewMax in just a minute generates the face of a girl in her "backyard" with natural lighting and a background, and then rewrites the viral script for a new product on its own. The algorithm knows which camera angle holds the viewer in the first 3 seconds. It knows how to rewrite someone else's viral script for a different product without losing the mood. And it knows how to export the video without a watermark, because a watermark kills sales, and the buyer in a TikTok feed no longer notices the difference. And even the face of the AI girl itself never repeats, every video runs under its own character, and the script is copied from already viral videos in the same niche. In 1 video like this an AI girl showed a jar of skin cream in a garden, and in just a month a full $10,000 in net commission went through the affiliate link, more than most real skincare micro-influencers earn in half a year of work. The buyer does not buy cream from AI. The buyer buys a clear scene with a clear girl and a clear box in the frame. Here is what happens when a tool built for 1 funnel switches into another, where the money is shorter, more transparent, and does not depend at all on whether there is a live person in the frame. This guy has no studio, no videographer, and no team of copywriters, there is only Amazon Affiliate, ViewMax, and copies of viral scripts from the same niche. Imagine that micro-funnels like this are no longer launching just 1, but in every niche with an affiliate program, skincare, gadgets, kitchen, home, fitness. And in a year most of the ad videos on TikTok will not be made by people. We just watched the influencer marketing industry shift from a contract with a real person to 1 prompt in ViewMax and 1 affiliate link. The buyer looks at the AI girl. The girl redirects them to Amazon. The commission goes to a person they will never see. And a real influencer in the same niche right now is filming a video about the same cream, in her own kitchen, with real light, with her real skin. And she will sell 10 times less.

  @TheShortBear UPS is down but most of Amazon shipping is handled by third party

  @oguzerkan $UPS down 3% on the news tells you the market believes it. What is not clear if $AMZN opens its logistics network to compete with $UPS, or just uses it to make every seller more dependent on Amazon before charging for it.

  This 23-year-old guy assembled a portfolio of 30 AI girls, and each one brings him $2,000 a month through Amazon affiliate. If you look at his screen, it does not look like a TikTok creator panel, it looks like a financial dashboard. 30 rows, each with a girl's name, niche, conversion, baseline income. Monthly yield on the portfolio, $60,000. Annual ceiling, about $720,000. A financial portfolio is built like this: dozens of small positions, each one consistently profitable, and total income does not depend on 1 star. This logic used to be applied to stocks and bonds. That same logic now lives on TikTok. Only instead of stocks there are AI influencers, and instead of dividends there is affiliate commission from Amazon. In his portfolio there is an AI girl about baby care, an AI girl about garden tools, an AI girl about children's books by a specific author, an AI girl about kitchen gadgets for left-handed people. After that another 26 equally small niches in which there is not 1 real blogger. Once a week he sits down at the laptop, checks which of the 30 girls dropped, which one grew, and rewrites her next video. This is not even marketing, it is rebalancing. Each niche gives a predictable curve: the micro-audience grows by 2 to 3% per week, unsubscribes stay near 0, purchase conversion fluctuates between 1.5 and 2%. Any drop in these metrics is a reason to rewrite the offer. The strangest part is that half of his 30 niches are so small that there is not 1 known blogger in them at all. No living person makes content about children's books by a specific author or about tools for left-handed gardeners. And that is exactly where his AI girls take the entire market. The most stable position in his portfolio is the AI girl about baby food for allergy sufferers. She has 35,000 subscribers, not 1 viral video, just a steady flow of $2,100 in affiliate commission every month, without spikes and without dips. The buyer in a micro-niche does not care who recommends the product. What matters to them is that there is a video, there is a product, and there is a link, and this combo closes their entire search. Here marketing turned into financial management, where the main metric is not virality, but evenness of income across 30 sources at once. This guy has not 1 meeting with a client, not 1 brand contract, not 1 contract with a real model, just 30 rows in his spreadsheet and 30 affiliate links. And in this story he himself is not a marketer. And not a TikTok blogger. He is a portfolio manager whose stocks are faces that do not exist. Today his portfolio has 30. In a year it will have 100. In 3 years, 1,000, and then standard micro-influencers on TikTok will close as a class, because in every one of their niches someone's AI position will already be sitting. Here the marketing industry shifted from a creative business into a financial one, with its own portfolios, yield, and risk management. 30 girls. 30 niches. 30 affiliate links. And 1 person who looks at it like an index fund of AI influencers. A real mid-tier investment fund manages the same annual yield as this guy, only the fund has a team of 40 people, regulatory reporting, and a 2-and-20 fee. This guy has a laptop and a ViewMax subscription.

  Absolutely frustrated with Amazon. Received a broken locker (~₹5k) and initiated return immediately. It’s been 15 DAYS and still no pickup—delivery agents keep saying “van will come” but only bikes show up. Endless delays,no resolution.This is unacceptable. @AmazonHelp @amazonIN

  Amazon is affiliated with Satanists. Shut down every warehouse as no employee is safe from their spiritual attacks and death magic. It looks like a humiliation ritual to me.

  Amazon $AMZN is launching its own logistics network, open for any business. Direct competition with Fedex $FDX and United Postal Services $UPS whos stock is down -8,5% and -9,2% on the announcements. Quite the conglomorate Amazon is becoming.

  @OkamiGroup @rnewton7777 @69dte Main issue with this is eBay does not have massive shipping hubs like Amazon. Its is almost all user to user. They simply did not build their infrastructure to keep up with the growth of online sales. HOWEVER. They do have a live shopping hobby like whatnot, and that is an advantage.

  AWS. $100B a year. started as Amazons internal cloud Amazon Ads. $50B a year. started as Amazons internal ad engine now theyre opening the logistics network to everyone. the thing that made FBA untouchable FedEx down 8% today. UPS down 9% I used to sell on Amazon. FBA was the reason. the logistics were just better than everyone elses and it wasnt close - I would 100000% use them outside of Amazon as well. Whats next that Amazon uses internally that they can sell for $10B+ a year? Consumer shopping data is my bet. CPG companies pay Nielsen $5B a year to tell them what people are buying. Amazon already has that data in real time Nielsen is gonna be the FedEx of that story...

  @perplexity_ai Well....Amazon gave me a free split test by accident. Our sales were down 25% in April....but profit was up 24%....and we spent 40% less on ads. Thx for the data @amazon ! Going to tone ads way back even after I fix the suppression issue.

  @imigry_com @farzyness No, there's no indication Amazon has bought any Spirit planes. Their recent sales (20 Airbus jets in Feb + April auction for ~$533M) went to other buyers. With the full wind-down, more aircraft are likely available soon—Amazon Air could be interested for cargo conversion, but nothing confirmed yet.

  @billybinion In 2024, Jeff Bezos likely paid an estimated $2.7 billion to $3 billion in federal taxes, driven by the sale of over $13.6 billion in Amazon stock. 3/13.6~ 28%. My tax rate is higher than this making $170k a year. This is the problem
