I mean, unless the subscription number is way down or revenue has dropped significantly (which the article does not seem to mention), none of this matters, which is exactly what Bezos wants.
- iudqnolq 1y agoSo far each big, unpopular decision by Bezos has led to significant cancellations of paid subscriptions. Since it's happened more than once I don't think it's safe to assume the remaining subscribers are happy either. Bezos cancels planned endorsement of Harris: 300,000 paid subscribers cancel in period up to election. (400,000 new paid subscribers over the period, but they offered significant promotional discounts) Bezos tweets change to opinion policy: 75,000 paid subscribers cancel within four days With in the order of 2.5 million paid subscribers before all this started that's significant losses.

- nsksl 1y agoIt’s surprising to me that in America newspapers are expected to publicly endorse a candidate. Not even trying to pretend to be neutral.
