Or try touching grass rather than expressing your politics through your slop.
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?
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.
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
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.
oh no god forbid a chud business kulak stop hosting their website via amazon
-
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.
I would instantly support any alternative to Amazon but I also dislike seeing well made stuff get dishonestly maligned

So yeah, everything is CIA

Regardless of whether it's an op, you're falling for the op by directing people to go engage with it.
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
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.
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.
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.
Oh noooo rally around the Amazon product we must protect Bezos from the chuds
Spectacle isn’t politics friend
I’m a union steward and I enforce the contract on management and represent workers at disciplinary hearings and get paid to do it
But ima be real with you I’m kind of doomer about that this nation and am coming up with plans to bail
Kudos to you for your work, I in no way think review gaming is politics or comparable to your work, it was just an offhand post because I liked the new season of The Boys
Well my plans will be a bit unique because I have dual citizenship US and Syrian. Obviously Syria is not the ideal place to flee to right now, it’s going to take a while for the place to recover and stabilize. There are ok areas of Damascus but that’s about it, and no matter how you slice it it will be a quality of life drop due to sanctions and less job opportunities
Yeah Syria is a gamble right now, but it's good that you have options! Maybe I should look into dual citizenship in general...

Chuds regularly game these reviews to mine for screenshots to manufacture consent. It is not a huge deal, but the reason they all bombed positive reviews on the transphobic Ricky Gervais comedy special was so all these Right Wing channels could screenshot, and broadcast to normies that the professional critics negatively reviewing it were out of touch elites and the masses "knew" Gervais was just "telling the truth" about the "trans agenda." Presenting transphobia as just truth being besieged by elites is intended to shape the public's belief that the marginalized actually have outsized coercive power and therefore their outcries about persecution can be treated with indifference.
wait theres a season 3? did i even watch 2? is it any good?
if you have prime, rate 5 stars
no and no: you do not, in fact, have to counter chud reviewbombing billion dollar properties

I'm sorry to tell you but anybody that would be convinced that trans people are subhuman because they saw a few reviews online or got told that "normal" people were catching on to the conspiracy about a trans agenda, then they'd be not worth having in the first place. We don't need to open our doors to shitty people that once a trans person is a little unkind to them they immediately turn and say why we need to be genocided. Review bombing an Amazon show will do nothing just like review bombing the shitty Harry Potter game that's on the horizon will do nothing and through engaging beyond saying that Rowling is a TERF and the game will fund her TERF ideology gives it more attention than it deserves and even then has more of a positive impact than some Amazon reviews that chuds will ignore to just point out the exact same reviews anyway.

I am not taking about those people, I am talking about the politically uninvolved people those people try to misinform, creating the perception that makes them think things like "You can do what you want to your own body, but just don't teach my kid to do it" or "I am as liberal as the next guy but this canceling of comedians is hurting free speech and making me less sympathetic to their cause"
I'm talking about those politically uninvolved people. What use are they to a movement? They demand that we mainstream our demands for equal rights by simply letting us assimilate into the capitalist system without addressing the foundational flaws in how we approach gender in our society. Rev. King's Letter from Birmingham Jail sums it up nicely.
"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."
Consume the content sure, but at least pirate and for fucks sake don't encourage people to interact with their platform. Having an Amazon Prime sub is the 5th type of liberalism.

If you stopped me in the street in 2007 and told me 4chan would someday have the same political outlook as Republican senators I would have laughed and sarcastically asked if Digg is openly fascist now
The buns are gay, but weirdly the burgers are still straight somehow. We have our top scientists working on this conundrum.
:top-use-words: :top-use-words:
We are the Burger Queens of the Burger Biarchy
Aren't' t they doing it because they mention 4chan in it, and they don't like to be mentioned in normie shit?
why are we having a struggle session? chuds being angry is good slop
4chan: Fucking FBI glowies fucking ruining everything!
4chan when people of color are the victims:
Gonna level with you comrade that mass emailing all your elected officials and saying the democrats are going to far right would be more useful than whatever the fuck this is
Nooo you don't understand if The Boys drops to four stars the fascists win.
