It's been a year of calm. Homelander's subdued. Butcher works for the government, supervised by Hughie of all people. But both men itch to turn this peace and quiet into blood and bone. So when The Boys learn of a mysterious Anti-Supe weapon, it sends them crashing into the Seven, starting a war, and chasing the legend of the first Superhero: Soldier Boy.
Sure but they would publicize it or have one of the stars bring attention to it if that were what was happening here. Occam's Razor says this is probably just the show getting featured by a Chan thread or an X GOES WOKE YouTuber, spurring review bombing. The same people also spammed positive reviews on Ricky Gervais's new special because he trashed trans people, for instance.
Amazon's other affiliated businesses are The Internet. Amazon's profits come from running a massive chunk of the internet's cloud hosting and data analytics. Everything else is a loss leader and data collection avenue. The algorithms know exactly who is leaving what kind of review and they are definitely going to use that information in future promotions, my friend.
This is all true, but we were discussing why Amazon might not remove negative reviews, and my point was that them doing so would spark a right wing media outrage that could lead to some chud business owners canceling their AWS or whatever.
Why would they need to remove reviews when they algorithmically show them in the first place?
Media outrage is still data for them to collect and profit from.
Nobody with a bank account large enough for Amazon to care about gives a shit about the culture wars. Amazon's biggest clients are governments and billionaires, not some qanon chud with an etsy shop.

Elon Musk? The billionaires funding Prager U? The rich people who bought George Zimmerman's gun for $200k or bailed out Rittenhouse? I don't think you know how stupid and internet brain poisoned most rich people are. They are literally giving Bari Weiss $800k a year on Substack to post one dogshit column about cancel culture each week.
Musk might be dumb enough, but if you think the Kochs and Mercers of the world don't have class solidarity with Bezos you need to get off hexbear and start reading some theory, comrade.
I agree with this, I was more angling to support the creatives behind the show, not Bezos. But I am saying there are rich who support fascism for primarily monetary reasons but also rich people who are 100% invested in stupid culture war shit like woke Mr Potato Head or whatever.
Those people are rounding errors to Amazon, friend. You're also forgetting just how much it would cost for an organization of consequence to Amazon to move their infrastructure away from Amazon.
And creatives on Amazon don't need our support, they need an alternative to Amazon.
So we're at uncritical support for Amazon because one of their properties mentioned shit that's been known to anyone that actually cared about it for a few decades? At least warehouse employees wouldn't be breaking their bodies as much shipping people's bags of pet food and energy drinks. When there's not much volume to process it's like peace has come to Earth, I would have loved a widespread boycott when I worked there.
Streamers and youtubers are extremely effective at sending people to go do X or Y or Z on demand. We saw just how powerful that shit was when they did it on the reddit pixel thing.
But why
You think corporations would do that? Just go on the internet and false flag their own IP to get people to stick up for them?

My comrade in solidarity, you are literally performing that counter-function right now.
You really think amazon would let a bunch of negative reviews bomb their own IP on their own platform?
Yes if they felt that removing those negative reviews would spark an outcry that harmed their other affiliated businesses

I would instantly support any alternative to Amazon but I also dislike seeing well made stuff get dishonestly maligned
Then you're just playing Amazon's game.🤷♂️
PragerU CEO is ex Israeli intelligence https://twitter.com/prageru/status/1463598301681373186?lang=en
So yeah, everything is CIA
oh no god forbid a chud business kulak stop hosting their website via amazon
Regardless of whether it's an op, you're falling for the op by directing people to go engage with it.
:this:
Amazon would just remove the reviews if they thought it was going to have an effect on their bottom line.
Not if removing them would spark more chud outcry than keeping them
That would just generate more publicity for the show and convince libs they have to watch it on repeat to really stick it to the right.
That tertiary response doesn't really net enough gain to offset the loss of conservatives for a week just not buying anything on Amazon

Who said anything about uncritical support? This is literally asking to write a review in a few seconds for fun.
Would rather peel my fingernails off with a spoon than do anything that buoys Amazon's image.
