Not saying I don’t believe you at all, but would love to read about this if you have a source?

Searching for "Amazon brand ambassadors" should help you find more articles.

I think it's just speculations

Interesting, I can't verify this though

How do you expect to verify it? Are the quotes directly from Amazon PR in that article somehow insufficient?

That's not what I 'm saying, I do believe you but it is not something I would tell someone else as a fact, knowing amazon it is very probable though

But ... it's a fact. It's documented. Amazon literally said they did it.

Alright, must have misread something, sorry
