That's true for some categories, but the HN headline says electronics rates were cut in half, which I don't see when I'm comparing the two tables. Electronics were already excluded from volume pricing, and had a flat 4% rate under the existing fee structure. The only electronics subcategory in which I see fees being cut in half is for televisions, which were previously under the general electronics category (4%) and are now in their own category (2%). Most other electronics stayed the same, e.g. PC parts were already at 2.5% (and stayed there), videogame consoles were at 1% (and stayed there), and miscellaneous/other electronics were at 4% (and stayed there).

In fact, the headline should have been something like "Amazon cuts volume pricing, greatly reducing affiliate commissions" I don't think it's half in most categories. (To be clear, I didn't write the headline. Had just been attempting to explain it)
