Out of all the big ones Amazon is the one I'd want the least to make much money. They just seem to have the least human view of their customers, with some products they've built completely centered around viewing their customers as consumer-machines.
- whoisjuan 9y agoCompared to Apple that artificially created a consumption cycle of one 700 USD (Now 1000 USD) device per year?
- mistermann 9y agoApple seems to lack the expertise to enter new markets and compete with entrenched players.
- sib 9y agoMotorola, Nokia, and Blackberry would beg to differ...
- mistermann 9y agoThe gap between computers and phones is a lot smaller than cloud services and groceries.
- hobofan 9y agoYes, _one_ device, and with the rather long support of their devices, you definitely don't have to buy it yearly (I get your point, tough). Every product Amazon presents, is in a very obvious way geared towards making people consume more every day as if that were the biggest joy people have in their life. Ordering from Amazon via image recognition was one of the only unique features, the Fire Phone had. Why would I as a person deciding between smartphones want that? Alexa was presented in the same way, and then there obviously is the Dash button.
- notyourwork 9y agoI find it interesting that you consider Amazon to have the least human view of customers when they are founded and based on the principle of customer obsession.
- tonyedgecombe 9y agoThey aren't obsessed with customers, they are obsessed with costs.
