  @Awk20000 @amazon , @Twitch Seems like you got a problem with various things that would make any shareholder squirm. Get to fixing it its not rocket science. Radicalization from the platform is getting worse and there are plenty of receipts online about it...is TOS just a suggestion?

  @Shaykay1717 Is there a Whole Foods near you - if that’s Amazon, is that the source? Check the labels - the problem is it’s already in your kitchen not the store. I order from Amazon Whole Foods a lot, large beef and pork and it has been fine.

  In 1956, a secretary invented something in her kitchen. She brought it to work in a small bottle. In 1975, she sold it to Gillette for $47,500,000. It was white paint. This is Jeff Bezos's lecture on innovation at Stanford. Her name was Betty Nesmith Graham. She was an executive assistant and a terrible typist. The new typewriters used film ribbons. You couldn't erase mistakes. So she went home, mixed white paint to match the paper, and started painting over her errors with a tiny brush at her desk. She called it Liquid Paper. Then the WD-40 story. Three people. Government contract to coat Atlas missiles in storage silos so they wouldn't rust. They failed 39 times. The name WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, 40th Attempt. They named it straight out of the lab notebook. The Atlas missile market turned out to be small. So they sold it in hardware stores instead. Then Bezos talks about Amazon. Barnes & Noble launches online. They have 30,000 employees and $3,000,000,000 in revenue. Amazon has 125 people and $60,000,000. Forrester Research publishes a headline: "Amazon.toast." Bezos calls an all-hands meeting. Tells his 125 employees to be terrified every morning. Not of Barnes & Noble. Of customers. Watch the moment he explains the question nobody ever asks him. Everyone asks what will change in 10 years. Nobody asks what will NOT change. Customers will always want low prices, fast delivery, and wide selection. So you build everything around that. It compounds for decades. One week before this lecture, Amazon launched Amazon Prime. $79 a year. Unlimited two-day shipping. Nobody thought it would work. A senior product manager who worked on Prime expansion: $210,000 base salary. 200,000,000 users. It started with a $79 idea announced to a Stanford classroom. Bookmark this and watch later - after this lecture, every "stupid idea" you have will feel like a small bottle of white paint.

  Man Utd turned down £10m+ from Amazon last year because Amorim didn't want cameras around. Amorim's gone. Carrick's in. All or Nothing is now on for the whole of 26/27 — at a record fee for a football documentary. Bold move, filming this one. #MUFC #PremierLeague

  @SOOPLLC My advice after routing for many, many decades and not having a traditional publisher: there are two routes when it comes to publishing. You don't necessarily have to make them mutually exclusive but you either get published by a publisher in some scenario or you self-publish. There are different versions of each one. My recommendation is to decide upfront what you want to do, which route you want to pursue. Again you can do both but you've got to put time into whichever one you decide to do because if you're going to do traditional publishing then it requires a different approach for that. You need to: - draft your book - write your books - do a rough draft - write them - get it to a final draft - get better readers - get it in front of editors - get it in front of companies That means sending out manuscripts to many publishers and waiting forever. The alternative is self-publishing. I struggled with this for a long time. I didn't want to spend six years of my life writing and just dumping my manuscripts out to different publishers, hoping someone grabbed it. What I did is I just said, "You know what? I'm on a right for the passion of writing and I make money off of it. Don't get me wrong but that's not the reason why I do it." I don't make a whole lot off my writing right now and I may never find with that but I finally had to decide that my passion is writing, not publishing. What I started doing is I'll write the books. I believe in the snapshot theory so I don't ever try to make my work perfect but I make it as perfect as I can at that point in my development. I'll write a book, I'll get it edited, and I'll normally go through about three drafts over time. I'll take breaks from it. After the rough draft, when I feel like it's ready to publish, I put it on Amazon KDP, drop it into Select, and leave it. I'll move on to another book. I try not to obsess over it. Some of them grow, some of them don't. Some of them, months down the road, will finally get some traction and I'm not a big-name famous author by any means of the stretch. I have very few readers in fact but I've made some money off of it and I've got some growth. I've had quite a number of reads and some of my stuff takes off, some of it doesn't, but it's just the fact that I have a passion for writing. My recommendation for an aspiring author is to decide which route you want to take and gear up to pursue that route with vigor because if you get consistent and keep pushing, you never know what will happen.

  Finding @amazon customer service on the site to get help with a real issue is like finding gold. On an astroid. In deep space. In another dimension. 🤨 It's almost like they hide it to avoid their customers. #amazon

  @Variety Energetic my ***. Horrible acting and terrible plot. It's like speed, but she's running. Amazon Studios strikes out again.

  @skinroja203 American business ceases immediately and zero imports come in. Walmart, Amazon, Costco shut down. No gasoline, jet fuel or kerosene. That means no trucks to deliver goods to the Canadian stores. All food is gone from the stores within three days while everything warehoused ruins on shelves. The major concern would be how are families going to be fed. A Canadian who sees his starving children while also dealing with other Canadians looting HIS resources that he might have. It’s bad. Really bad. Again, I hope it never happens because it would be complete and total devastation. That’s the power of the US war machine and economy. Factor in we don’t have to take it to the other side of the world but is right next door makes it even easier and more terrible

  @amazoncareers @amazon You have a real problem when a candidate for a job can’t get or receive emails from talent acquisition but can receive emails from shopping and careers (applications received/changed)

  @AmazonHelp A few days after arriving in the U.S. from Korea, I attempted to use my father’s card on my Amazon account. To verify identity, I submitted my father’s ID card and driver’s license, but Amazon was unable to verify his identity. Following further instructions received by email, I also submitted a photo of the physical card itself. Shortly after, my account was closed. Since then, I have called Amazon customer service numerous times, with wait times ranging from one to three days between calls. Each representative gave me different instructions like creating a new account and trying again, registering the card through a different method, using a different card instead I also submitted a bank-issued Amazon billing statement and documentation from the card company, as requested. This entire process has taken about three weeks with no resolution. In my most recent call, I was finally told that my original account has been locked, and that any new accounts I create under my name will also be affected as a result. I was told there is nothing further the representative could do. I am an international student who will be living in the U.S. for several years. I rely on Amazon for many purchases, and I would like to resolve this account issue permanently rather than continuing to receive inconsistent guidance that takes days to obtain and often creates new problems. I would greatly appreciate it if someone from a specialist or executive resolution team could review my case and help restore or properly resolve my account status. I don't wanna be disappointed any more in amazon

  Um... It happened again. Another paperback processed, printed and shipped on the same day that it was ordered. And it wasn't even to Canada this time. Did Amazon actually listen to my whining and fix stuff or am I hallucinating?

  @AmazonHelp @JeffBezos Maybe you can help out because apparently you can't reach this department. Side note: a generic email is not resolving the issue!

  @DanielDoor8 FTC is suing Amazon and released info. Amazon replied back with a bunch of counters that don't really address the issue at hand.
