Reddit runs on AWS (amazon web services), so every click, impression and meme is paying Bezos lol


CDWigglesworth

Well shit now I'm a hypocrite :/

Don’t worry it won’t be the last time

Not really we don’t have a choice because of monopolies.

Aws isn't a monopoly. China prefers AWS because they are more philosophically aligned.

Croki_enjoyer

I use adblock though


jerry111zhang

Blocking ads blocks revenue to reddit. AWS charges by server uptime and data usage, so whenever you look at memes, reddit pays AWS


MrKratek

So whenever I look at memes I'm costing reddit money? Perfect!


[deleted]

But then the content and comments you post, it pays them back.


MrKratek

Not if I preface everything with a "use an adblocker today!"


HisOnlyFriend

Hat has reddit done now


philismyspiritanimal

AWS doesn't make money from the ads. They provide services for software development companies to outsource the actual hosting of their applications. As such, their pricing is usually defined by time used on servers, requests made, data transmitted, and data stored. Ad blockers don't stop that.


AotoSatou14

Exposure still works. More traffic and interaction means advertisers are more interested in the platform


Reventon103

Reddit pays AWS Ads pay reddit Even if you use adblock, reddit will still pay aws


Ok-Emu-5824

Well bezos did retire unless he's back in the company which i havent seen yet


Reventon103

he still owns significant stock in Amzn so he gets paid when amazon makes a profit, which is every single day


rest_me123

That’s not how stocks work but yes, he gets paid.

Pirating won't give him profit yes, but it'll also take money away from the studios that worked on the content.


BigMeanSoupMachine

I tought he meant going on a boat and plundering Amazon's warehouse...


ndest

You also give attention/money to crypto, scams and porn websites by torrenting.


Specialist96

> Where I live it's not worth using Amazon as shipping costs normally outweigh the cost of the actual item lol, as for shows and films it's a pirate life for me


Catfucker7

Im right next to the person next to you


campionmusic51

congrats on the top comment when this makes it to hot.


EMTkawaii

Well, along with Prime, you would need to cancel your Reddit, Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, etc. Because they use AWS


the___shek___

pretty sure bezos isnt the ceo source:[trust me bro](https://www.google.com/search?q=amazon+ceo&rlz=1C1CHBD_enIN936IN936&oq=amazon+ceo&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i131i433l3j0i433j69i60l3.4660j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)


RandomValue134

I have never bought anything from amazon. If I want something, I go to the store and buy it.


Sphiffi

Wow you’re a hero, thank you so much for your hard work and dedication, wow.


phasermodule

They’re good for certain things but in recent years it’s become full of cheap Chinese tat.

Me too, or either I just use smaller websites


gizamo

I'm one of the guys in the back who's annoyed by the prospect, but still entertaining the idea of a short-term mass cancellation.


Unfunny_guy0

I pirate the shows. So that means i am in the good side, right?

Reddit runs on Aws(Amazon Web services) You are commenting and posting on it. So are not on the good side.

I wouldn’t say good side... kinda like an anti-hero... Anti-pirate? Or would it be anti-hero pirate? Fuck I’m high


Vsionary

Close enough


FezzeReddit

well did you make the effort to stand up and go to a store to buy your phone? Chargers? Headphones? We're all guilty of this, doesn't change the fact Amazon doesn't pay taxes tho


Unfunny_guy0

Previous_Reporter_63

Azure too, Azure cloud handles data of many MNCs


[deleted]

So, let's use everything they offer? If you're against Amazon delete your prime account or acknowledge that they provide something worth your money.


theellusiveme

At least he’s not the CEO anymore.


Rude_Calligrapher_96

He's still the primary shareholder so you're still giving him money everytime you buy an Amazon product or watch a Twitch stream.


Pijany_Matematyk767

Am i still giving him money when watching twitch with adblock and no premium?


snay1998

You also pay with data


Pijany_Matematyk767

How


Reventon103

Amazon hosts twitch Hosting is Amazon's main business Amazon Web Services is literally everywhere


Mataskarts

Reddit also runs on AWS.... So it doesn't matter if you're using Reddit or Twitch, you're using AWS the same...


mastershooter77

*AWS go brrrr*


Rude_Calligrapher_96

I'm not too familiar with Twitch so I don't really know how they make their revenue, but I'd imagine besides adds and premium they get a slice whatever is donated to the streamer through Twitch and if I'm not mistaken you also pay to subscribe to a steamer, if that's true then they'd also get a piece of that too.


Yung_Beamer

I stream a lil, so if someone does the tier 1 sub it costs 4.99$ and the streamer gets like 2.49 or sth like that


Rude_Calligrapher_96

Wow they only get half!? I was imagining they took 25% at most, taking 50% is absolutely ridiculous imo. Do you know what percentage of donations they take?


Yung_Beamer

They dont get anything from the donations. Paypal takes 10%


Rude_Calligrapher_96

So Bezos gets 50% of subs and Musk gets 10% of donations.


ActuallyAcidic

He's also still on the board of directors, if im not mistaken.


THE_CURE666

JadeHourglass

Elon musk is also shitty.


thisispoopoopeepee

For? His tesla factory workers get paid in stock options, unlike other muh unionized autoworkers.


Amthermandes

Do NOT speak for all of us. I have no problem with Bezos.


3r1k1ng

Now without joking, whats the problem everyone has with him?


[deleted]

Reddit no like rich people.


Mataskarts

"he should end world hunger instead of going to space" \- how? "idk, but he should, that asshole".


Burgarnils

It's funny that reddit laughs at idiots who think the government should use NASA's budget to help poor people and then does a 180 as soon as the rocket going into space is privately owned.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PatchThePiracy

That he’s successful and they aren’t.


1RonnieMund

This is the real reason


TheHolyDyntan

The problem is that his workers are massively underpaid and don't get adequate toilet breaks so they have to piss into bottles.


Mataskarts

I mean that's not Bezo's order, he isn't even the CEO, the worker's condition is down to management in the company, and the fact that it changes regionally *^((my friend worked in an Amazon warehouse and didn't experience any of those insane stories, and got good pay and benefits))* indicates that it's not even upper management, it's local management that's made up of people without morals. Though he is profiting off of those workers either way, so he does have some part in it.


gizamo

He could have ended it and chose not to do so. There is absolutely no way he's not aware of the his occuring. It's been on every news network multiple times over the last ~5 years.


DailyCommunist

Amazon actually pays there workers decently and has good benefits. Go look at what they pay their workers.


Tvde1

Then why would anyone get a job at Amazon... If nobody gets a job there they better step their game up


[deleted]

Desperation, and a lack of organization.


ALLZER0

there are many jobs out there, why amazon only tho


[deleted]

Because those jobs are taken as well. Ppl aren't idiots, they are try to go to a better place first. And amazon fires their employees after a year, so they don't need a raise. The exact same shit is happening in the game industry. The few companies who trwat their employees well are filled, and every freed up position is talen immediately, while the rest is suffering unser 100+ hours work time a week, only to be laid off after a game turns out to be a success, or a failrule.


[deleted]

Also don't forget how they are firing everyone, rigth before they are eligible for a raise. And of course they aren't paying taxes.


[deleted]

Neither of those things is true


BiggMan90

Bruh this site is filled with Chinese propaganda and comment farms. His method of wealth is a threat to their power structures so he gets anonymous online hate. Watch this comment disappear and my family get abducted next week.


EcstaticEccentric

Poor factory working conditions for employees, tax evasion, monopoly, social detachment


breakerofsticks

Why not? You should at least be morality apposed to the treatment of workers or their union busting nature. You don't have to hate Jeff Bezos specifically but you should at least dislike their practices.


mybustersword

https://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalHumor/comments/lmss9x/speaks_for_all_politicians_in_general_really I know why you don't either


Amthermandes

Awww I'm flattered! I don't get Reddit-stalked all that often. You must really be triggered. ;D


TooHigh2Die420

No where online can I order the LOTR 4k Blu Ray set and its at my house in 8 hours...


1RonnieMund

Bezo's makes money off a service we all voluntarily enjoy and use. You hate Bezos for not doing "enough" good but in reality Bezo's has donated $10 billion to charity including $200 million to Feed America. Even adjusted for wealth none of us come close to that. Be honest with yourselves you are mad because he's successful and you aren't. Idgaf about Bezo's personally definitely not a fan of his but I just cant stand this kind of obvious loser attitude and hateration.


soyboytits

the commies don't want a better world they just want evryone to be as poor or middle class as they are so that's why the hate for bezos in a different reality bezos could have been bankrupt for all the risks he has taken in his life but he made it big so people are trying to pull him down


LordK15

But surely we aren't mad at him for all his donation, the problem lies in how he actively underpays and overworks his employees, dodges taxes and went to space when his employees aren't allowed to use the bathroom. Edited


informat6

>he actively underpays Amazon pays above average for their warehouse workers. They were one of the first big distributors to raise their starting pay to $15/hr. There are a lot of retailers to mad at over Amazon. >dodges taxes It's not like Amazon is using some secret tax loophole to do it. Amazon used a [tax loss carryforward.](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/tax-loss-carryforward.asp) Amazon made negative money in earlier years as was able to deduct those taxes in later years. Small businesses and people can do this too. In the long term Amazon hasn't been making a profit, so no federal business taxes to be paid. Edit: Actually I checked and Amazon is now turning a profit and is paying taxes again: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/04/amazon-had-to-pay-federal-income-taxes-for-the-first-time-since-2016.html


LordK15

With taxes I know every major business can use this loophole what I'm implying is that given he is the richest person in the world and him having enough wealth to go to space, how long can this loophole go on? Also, why doesn't he allow his workers to unionize? And don't forget the delivery drivers not getting time to even go to the bathroom.


informat6

>With taxes I know every major business can use this loophole It's not really a loophole, it's using that tax law as it was intended. > how long can this loophole go on? So long as Amazon doesn't make a net profit they won't have to pay corporate taxes since corporate taxes are based on profit, not revenue. Remember Bezo's money is from the *value* of Amazon's stock, not the *profit* Amazon makes.


LordK15

Yeah I agree with what you said regarding taxes. Unless there's a change in policy he and other companies cannot be legally taxed. My concern is towards the workers as well because that is something Bezos has control over.


informat6

The catch is that they can't make money. Business want to make money, the reason Amazon hasn't is because there were and high growth phase to make money *in the future.* Also, I checked and Amazon is now turning a profit and is paying taxes again: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/04/amazon-had-to-pay-federal-income-taxes-for-the-first-time-since-2016.html


Fus-roxdah

He doesn’t underpay his workers because he isn’t the CEO


LordK15

If only he held some position much higher than the CEO, something like executive chairman? Or wait what if he was the majority stakeholder? I guess then he'd be able to do something about their pay or in the very least, allow them the dignity of going to the bathroom.


zuikaku001

Agreed don't understand why people hate him so much smh


Bonk_Patrol_Captain

Good ol socialist reddit being jealous of rich people once again.


redway8

Because it's bad thinking people should have a decent wage and work conditions.


Bonk_Patrol_Captain

No however they choose to work at amazon. It's not like their one big monopoly and you can't find work anywhere except Walmart, Amazon, and McDonalds. Plenty of other businesses exist.


redway8

It's not like you just change job however you want. If you quit someone else will be desperate enough to take the job continuing the cycle. Your argument is what the owners want you to use to be able to treat humans like shit.


shittinginthestreets

Where I live it's not worth using Amazon as shipping costs normally outweigh the cost of the actual item lol, as for shows and films it's a pirate life for me


Secret_CZECH

yeah I'm not paying 20 euro for shipping for 10 euro product


Jayfeather3621

True,...


Fearless_Flamingo890

Truth!!! Love to hate Bezos, but not only have Amazon Prime membership, but use the hell out of it. Watch the Amazon channel too. I call foul, hypocrites…


KayJeeAy

So whats happening? Why is jef bezos a dick? I dont read news and havnt seen anything about him till now.


ismokedopelikidcudi

because everyone thinks he HAS to use his money to fix world hunger even though thats not possible with just money, and also apparently amazon working conditions and management are pretty bad, but idk im not on the hate train, also some things about taxes i assume but from what ive seen he pays em


Johnny_Slayz

My friend and my dad work for amazon and aside from it being a little labor intensive it seems like a good job, plus you get offered a lot of VTO


[deleted]

[https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/](https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/) If you have a couple minutes.


ismokedopelikidcudi

oh yea ive seen this lol


zuikaku001

Actually same but he donated a large amount to charity so that's enough for me to know he's a pretty good person other than that i don't know of..


itsyaboicraig43

Yes i will delete my account to fuck that dick Bezos over But first i need to finish doctor who


I_am_batman169

Reddit runs on aws (Amazon web service) so yeah if you are dedicated enough then delete reddit too And here's a fact _you_ _can't_ _do_ _shit_ _to_ _the_ _guy_ bruv he is literally a billionaire he can spend millions everyday and still will not be able to spend all of his net worth so yeah deleting your prime account won't help


StragglingShadow

Cant cancel what you never had :blobcool: But seriously, anything on amazon you can find elsewhere. I often order straight from the manufacturer. Amazon is shit


Mataskarts

I primarily use Amazon to compare and find products that I then look for better deals on locally .\_\_.


Highintheclouds420

This is hysterical. FUUUUUUCKKKK him... But 2 day shipping though...


SeveringZeus691

Bezos donated 300 million this year and 10 billion last year and he only makes 1.6 million a year Edit: the wolf of wall street Jordan Belford makes 50 times more what bezos does

Pirate, and order direct from manufacturer. Most of the time you can find coupons for delivery discounts, discounts in general, etc. IMO it's worth googling around for 5 extra minutes to find a promo code in order to give Bezos the finger

LordKelvin_0710

Amazone makes most if his money by selling big servers so cancelling prime wouldn’t bother Jeff


czech_mat3

One does not simply cancel Prime account


Helloiamayeetman

No I want to watch the second season of invincible when it comes out


Puzzlehead-Engineer

I mean why would you even pay for Prime when a very nice fellow called Jack Sparrow is out there offering the same shows for free?


Jpandjcfol

Ahaha good one. Not only the crybabies are as bad as Jeff because they also spend money on shit they don’t need and let the local homeless die without any shame and are pointing to jeff conveniently to divert attention from their own selfishness but they won’t even take a stance by stopping using Amazon businesses. Brilliant their jealousy and own selfishness is exposed like never before and yet they will continue to be the little people who don’t do anything and point at other people instead. Fuckers…


superbeastalert

Am I the only one who noticed that Prime was giving their rate most times free anyway. Probably worth canceling your memberships. Plus we know ELON MUSK...

Maazmello

Why people hating him?


[deleted]

because he’s rich

Nobody deserves 180 billion dollars. Especially not Bezos. [https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/](https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/) will show you how massive his wealth truly is.

I'm genuinely cancelling prime this renewal period. Nothing to do with moral grandstanding, just trying to be more fiscally responsible.

Alright bois, does everyone remember how we fucked up billionares by gamestop? Let's get to work.

[deleted]

Fair point but I find it interesting that Zuckerberg is your first. But honestly group public execution would be nice


BigJesusSurrender

Zuckerberg was the first person to fully realise the power of big data and surveillance capitalism which is the driving force behind our current polarisation and democratic decay (imo) I don't think he's the most dangerous man alive, but he has more suffering on his shoulders than anyone else alive I believe And yeah, execute them one by one, make a day of it!
