The sarcastic view is that this is just a facade. However, Amazon has historically took its principles very seriously. They believe that the principles made them who they are. Adding something there that they don’t intend to pursue could risk the integrity of this system as a whole

Given the horror stories from the people who work in the fulfilment centres and deliver for them, I'm going to take the sarcastic view.
- jeffrallen 5y agoI'm going to take the cynical view that the sarcastic view is nearly always right when applied to Amazon.
- mint2 5y agoBut is it really cynical when Amazon has thoroughly demonstrated over the past decade they believe humans” worked should be more like robots and cattle, and that legitimate brands should stop complaining about the rampant brand hijacking and fake reviews? Out of context those sound like extreme accusations but Amazon’s policies forcing leaders to hire to fire and completely faceless and automated warehouse worker firing and scheduling and regular brand hijakcing like the Klein bottle one on the front page here a couple days ago show that it’s not cynical to distrust Amazon. It’s more like fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
