That reads like a paid PR piece.
- mcphage 8y agoFor whom? And to what end? What are they even selling?
- NeedMoreTea 8y agoPR, public relations. Not selling anything but promoting the image of Amazon. Netflix aren't the incumbent in TV so claiming they aren't really damaging Netflix seems to be intentionally missing the point. Amazon are having a similar, but slightly lesser effect, to Netflix by dint of their somewhat smaller streaming market share. Not to forget they bought out Lovefilm, imdb, and probably a bunch of others I forgot.
- mcphage 8y agoTrying to convince people not to be afraid of Amazon? Because the general thrust of the article is “Amazon is big, but they’re not very good at anything but books”
- cannabisceo 8y agoI had the same reaction when I read it. This is an Amazon PR piece with the goal of making them seem not like a monopoly. Monopolies try to hide the fact that they're monopolies.
