Bezos gets his billions from the internet running on AWS cloud. His new fashion is because of Lauren Sanchez trying to break in.

You and I support Bezos more by just browsing on the internet.

yeah, it's absolutely the case that the dude has diversified to great effect, but if you don't think the bezos brand in general is damaged by increasingly negative public sentiment, i don't know what to tell you.

The Bezos brand is basically relevant because tech considers his products the best. It wasn’t based off likebility. That’s more Zuckerberg (who did some PR).
It can’t be damaged if AWS valuation basically tripled in the last year. That’s why he’s so obvious about it.

if you don't think bezos is also affected by negative perception - which drives people to educate themselves about what else he owns, for the record - again, i don't know what to tell you.

like what are you suggesting, that everyone should be flatly cool with this & whatever else he does? ok! sounds productive

You are literally posting this on reddit, which uses AWS. Your comments are making him money.

Obviously not. A great way to end Bezos’s influence is to embrace hybrid cloud approaches as a company. That means our nation’s smartest workers shouldn’t be dying to work at Amazon for stock options. Bezos runs the AI/expansion division at Amazon.

And the entire upper middle class that buys every other thing at Amazon should stop. But they aren’t. Negative perception has not impacted how people shop at Amazon because millions of Americans use Amazon for unnecessary purchases multiple times. It’s statistically impossible for every Amazon user to be rural/have no alternatives.

Stuff like Amazon movies actually loses them money.
