    But I actually don't think I've ever seen any positive coverage of Amazon anywhere. Where is the propaganda? The closest thing I can remember was that bullshit HQ competition. All the stuff I see people talk about (IRL or in non-political spaces online) is either Bezos' obscene wealth or workers dropping dead in warehouses or drivers pissing in bottles. Bezos doesn't even have the cult of personality that Musk has.

    You know, I think it might have to do with the ambiguity of the question. Like, do they like Amazon as a company, or as a service? Like, I guess I like the website? It's pretty convenient? But that's not the same as liking what they do.

      That's all most people think about. The Website. They click, treats arrive.

      It's really, really hard to imagine how little people even in more engaged countries than the USA think about news or politics. Most people decide who to vote for on the day they vote. Most people aren't that interested in the news, even what we think of as tabloid news. A significant proportion of Americans still think Russia is Communist.

      Heck I once knew a girl who didn't know we'd gone to space. Not "it's a conspiracy". She thought NASA was something from a TV show.
