What’s an example of a division that AWS subsidizes particularly heavily?
Prime Video, for one. Jeff loves Prime Video because it gives him access to the social scene in LA and New York. He’s newly divorced and the richest man in the world. Prime Video is a loss leader for Jeff’s sex life
errm... That should be on their SEC risk report
- vsareto 6y agoThis person is almost certainly not that intimately familiar with Jeff's private life. Take this with a grain of salt.
- cheaprentalyeti 6y agoIt's also the first thing I've read here in six months that's made me laugh.

- curiousllama 6y agoLook man if HN isn’t the place for wildly overconfident, wholly unsubstantiated speculation then idk what it is for

- ralston3 6y agoThe only weird thing about this take is I could believe it. And so what if it’s true? The guy has worked to become the richest man in the world (though I may be against his methods of doing so), and isn’t even from a prominent family. I don’t see how anyone could be upset by this XD
- defen 6y agoI find it hard to believe that "subsidizing Prime Video" is the only way for Jeff Bezos to gain entry to the LA/NYC social scenes.
- bigtones 6y agoAgreed. Also, Prime Video IS a major incentive for a lot of people to sign up for Amazon Prime and thereby helping perpetrate their near monopoly - so I guess it's a win win for Amazon and for Jeff's sex life.
