What is their endgame?

>>62082669
Owning every business while somehow denying that they're a monopoly.

They dont own shit man all they do is middle man without trying to jew you as much.

>>62082862
Their demand based algorithm is kind of jewish.

Is amazon also getting them EPYC servers? AWS surely could use some of those.

Amazon is literally the kind of outsourcing web services, and that is probably their endgame.

>>62082669
selling out.

I believe you. Their sole purpose is to sell stuff and make shekels.

As someone who has worked for their corporate offices, they want to be the dominant player in all online commerce (both retail and b2b).

Short of government intervention breaking them up, I also would not bet against them.

>>62087787
ummmmmmmm no
it has nothing to do with being the dominant player in commerce when they literally don't make that much money from it
actually think you low tier grunt who thinks he's above another low tier warehouse grunt
THINK about what they actually sell, and what their commerce and pretty much half the internet relies on

((((S E R V E R S))))
((((FOR EVERYTHING))))

>>62087836
Commerce is more than just selling consumer goods, anon. Note also that I mentioned b2b (this is the category under which AWS falls).

>>62082862
They own tons of servers and most of the web runs on AWS.

They're in the "service" industry.

>>62087931
So you're wrong but don't want to admit you're wrong and want to be petty about it.
Thankfully your job will be automated. We need less like you.

>>62087977
Tell me explicitly and clearly how I'm wrong, anon. While you are at it, please look up the definition of commerce. I will wait.

>>62082669
Finish what they set out to do, and then, in the end, either absorb Google and take over the world, or attack Google in every regard until Google wins and takes over the world, maybe even merge into the top super power in the world, if the US does not stop them from forming a complete monopoly on everything.

Google is the company that everybody is afraid will control our lives after learning everything there is to know about ourselves.

Amazon is the company that's well on their way to that point and nobody seems to notice or care.

They want to be everything to everyone and at a good price. Bought Whole Foods and now are lower the prices. Based as fuck Amazon. But will they be so willing to sell things at low margins after they've eliminated all competion?

>>62088028
amazon sells me things for good prices and fast shipping
google gives me annoying ads

>>62082862
Please tell me you're not on /g/ without knowing about AWS

>>62082862
They put pressure on the producer and the consumer, so their middle man Jewry actually makes equilibrium price go down. Taking other more tricky middle man, costly producers, and snowflake buyers out of the market.

It beautiful, its pure capitalism. Amazon is the future. If they bring prices down I am all in.

They're in the business of losing money.
I do business purchases and so far bought 137 orders. All at least 2 day, most 1 day. Unless the post works for free, they are losing out as I've only paid 40 bucks a year for prime lol.

world domination

>>62082862
My state tried to tax them so they started only middle-manning every transaction and not allowing shipping inside the state from vendors in the state. If somebody up the road has one and somebody in Texas has one, you're getting the one from Texas.

Are any of the Amazon prime benefits actually worth noting besides the free shipping?
I subscribe to prime myself and it's worth it to me just for the free shipping on shit, but I haven't even bothered looking into any of the other shit they offer. I'm wondering if there's anything there worth looking at.

>>62090246
Prime Video has some good shows, and was decent for anime until they put it behind an additional paywall. The interface sucks compared to Netflix, though, so you kind of have to already know what you want to watch.

>>62082862
They gave Nike an ultimatum that if they don't sign special deals with Amazon for exclusivity and lower priced kicks; that they will flood their own store with knockoffs of the brand and even invest in a competitor on their own website as an alternative to Nike

They quickly gave in. They do this with everyone

>>62088289
A monopoly in progress is always great at the start when they are killing the competition with uncompeteable prices. But once they are the monopoly, get ready to be bleed dry.

>>62082669
Being able to sell everything from A to Z.

I mean, it's not a secret, it's right in the logo.

>>62090246
I used it to finally watch Farscape.
The first season was not nearly as good as I had been led to expect, but it picked up.

>>62082669
devolping technology to the point of post scarcity and then pertending they haven't and keeping everyone as a wage slave anyway.

It depends on what you're into and a lot on where you are. There are numerous extra perks to being in or near high density metropolises, from free same day delivery on a lot of stuff (Prime Now can deliver a short list within 2 hours) to Amazon delivered food from local restaurants. There's also some unrestricted stuff like cloud photo storage and up to 6 people at the same address can share the same account with separate personal details. Prime users also get a discount at Whole Foods, but that probably just drops the prices from insane to stupid.

Their end game is expansion and continued growth of profits... like any and all corporations. That's just what a corporation does, by definition.

Currently, it would appear their strategy is to compete against Walmart's supermarket service. Walmart is expanding out into the digital realm with drive-up grocery delivery (I think they started online delivery too). Amazon is coming from the other side. They're doing digital delivery services expanding into groceries.

May the best man win - the consumer!

>hating the free market so much

>>62082669

At the current rate, the Government will step in and force them to split up. I mean, is there a good they DON'T sell now? Shit, you can furnish an apartment and have food delivered to your door monthly, and soon you'll even be able to get somewhat healthy food to your door.

Their downfall will be from their own expansion

Yup. And AWS started out in Northern Virginia. Think they have an agreement with the US Government?

That's why they've hired out their last mile delivery to avoid having to pay them as much or allowing them to unionize... Amazon is absolutely a to work for.

good read.

>>62082669
they are just walmart 2.0.

Do you know why they wanted whoefood?
When they expand the store to every state, wholefoods locations will be the "warehouses" for the food part of amazon.com.

They are literally making a move on walmart and kroger at the same time.
(if you dont know what kroger is then substitute it with whatever shitty alternative you have).

Post yfw amazon literally mails you your food, including frozen and cool food such as milk.

Exactly.

Everyone is so blinded by the low prices and comfyness they don't even expect it to raise the price once their monopoly is settled in.

Good read and surprisingly accurate for what it is, but there are a few fatal flaws. I'm not sure when this was written but Amazon owns all of their datacenters outright, they even purchased some of their original Verizon co-los. Also his mention of old hardware is true to an extent, but the main problem is legacy designed services that only exist in us-east-1 and don't have a good story for regional failover. It's gotten much better in the last few years, especially due to bad press about the S3 event last year that was from human error.

Finally the defense mention here is not govcloud at all, as govcloud is an unclassified project and only restricted to US citizens, this is where NASA processes Mars rover images and it physically resides on the west coast.

Amazon is actually even secretive if it's data centers internally. Only people with a need to know have any idea where they are located physically, much less have actually been in one. They don't do tours internally, but some teams who work frequently with the datacenter operations org will have some pull to get an escorted tour. Some of these datacenters have had armed guards as well, not necessarily to protect high profile customers, but due to the ms13 gang presence in the area and some thefts.
