>Dear Louis Rossmann,
our affiliate program is designed to direct positive attention to Amazon. The way you have represented the company in your opinions in how we do business are antithetical to the way we believe we represent ourselves in the world. As a result of this disagreement we will no longer have you as our affiliate.
Signed Amazon.
Well, it took some underpaid service worker (doing this repetitive work probably 1000x/day) just 1 sec to click a button to choose from a bunch of generic texts reviewed by a legal team to cancel your affiliate relationship with them and you even "got" it. Very effective. Win/Win.
Maybe in the future Amazon will refine this with their own customized LLMs: legally watertight, some "honesty" fine-tuning and who knows from time to time sprinkled with some limericks just for the creepy giggles ...
And owning to the previous experience with Amazon the way more important point: >Don't try to compete with Amazon [...] they will literally destroy you.
The corollary to that: if you decide to do even some penny business with them, you are wholly at their whim.
The machine at work seems to be very trigger happy atm.
