    Amazing video! Fourteen minutes of showing how evil Amazon is over the past 12 months. This video was incredibly insightful, about a subject that is incredibly dystopian.
  • @clementine2236
    Question actually, why do we charge big companies fines in dollars, instead of a percentage of profits or smthn similar. I personally feel as if one is going to hit much harder than the other
  • @claudiotorre
    These videos are my favorite "wrapped" series every year.
  • @leighvaughton2740
    This is so good - some expose sites are rather worthy, but this is a lot of fun!
  • @travelmaltaculture
    Amazon suspended my buyer account thinking I returned too much stuff, before realising I only returned one item. They reinstated me

    Note at 13:22 - "I don't have data to back it up" isn't the same as "I don't have data"
  • @xaviergomez3077
    Great video with solid research! The use of iPhone and android notfication sounds is a bit annoying, I know that many of the viewers play this as good content to digest through audio only—the constant iPhone sounds has me anxiously checking for what text I just got
  • @Tobacc0
    So... buy Amazon stock? You missed your calling as a financial advisor, Simon.
  • @MR_CAMARADERIE
    🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽!!! I always look forward to your yearly videos and this one didn’t disappoint.
