Damn this thread is negative as hell.
I’m one of the most cynical, pessimistic people I know, but not in here.
Kinda wish people’s first reaction were “good,” not “yeah right, remember Bell in the 80’s?”
Maybe I’m naive, but this seems like good news to me. Even if it doesn’t actually result in Amazon being broken up, at least it indicates someone is doing something.
“Don’t let perfection be the enemy of progress” or something like that.
Astroturfing. Amazon has PR teams that come here and sow seeds of "pff it doesn't even matter" in order to make people cynical and complacent.
Yeeaah nah, I can absolutely promise you that Amazon PR isn't wasting their time trying to make a few hundred thousand Lemmy users apathetic lol. This is such a crazy level of paranoia
Nice Try, Amazon PR Flunky!
And I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling Lemmings!
Repeat after me: amazon deserves to be broken up!
Also I think amazon is responsible for a measurable spike in inflation
