Blue Origin has seen significant internal and cultural restructuring. That’s why we are finally seeing progress.

  Yeah, Bezos has been putting most of his attention there for the past few years. And why not? What's more interesting, running a online marketplace (which still actually seems pretty interesting), or building rockets to fly into space:)

    For a small but reasonable sum, I'd be happy to take over running the online marketplace for him. I have a number of improvements I'm ready to make...

      We should talk to him given his lack of interest, it'd be win-win for you both:)

        Sadly, Bezos already turned over the job to a new CEO.

          His loss :)

        It'd be a win for me, probably not for him. Or investors, sadly, at least not in the short term. I would turn off the non-Amazon sales platform. It might be feasible to save the brand, but of course the immediate effect would be a loss of that revenue stream from all the random Chinese "brands" that flood it with cheap garbage and counterfeits. Or at least make a persistent toggle switch in the UI where you can say "I never want to see a single product that is not shipped-from-and-sold-by-Amazon." And end commingling with any product that Amazon itself sells, if that is occurring. That's why they don't let morons like me run big business :). I care about things that only matter when you are a small business apparently.

          Ah, focus on quality of products being listed. And, maybe that means there is room for a high-end competitor to Amazon eventually (am not seeing this anytime soon, but maybe in a couple decades??)

  this belongs at the top; early culture was straight Mcdonell Douglas reportedly, and extremely ineffective.
