No one is on Lemmy because they like shitty corps so I need your help
I’m at a loss. Increasingly whenever I order New on eBay or wherever, the order gets fulfilled by Amazon.
When I complain to the site I bought it from they shrug.
I’m regularly paying more for items and still funding an undeniably awful company
Retail is drop in bucket for Amazon. Their main revenue comes from AWS. How do you plan to avoid that?
I used to believe this stat too, then I looked it up. AWS is about 12.5% of their income. Online retail is about 50%. Your point still stands though, you can’t easily avoid Amazon’s revenue stream.
I mentioned revenue, not income. The income from AWS is low because much of the revenue is reinvested in expansion of AWS.
Then we’re both wrong. A deeper dive into newer numbers shows AWS REVENUE is 16% (12.5% is a year or two old). online stores REVENUE is 50%. The thing is that online stores recently started losing money so AWS INCOME is currently Amazon’s bread winner. (Edit: swipe type spelling mistakes)
What’s the difference?
Revenue represents sales, whereas income represents profits.
Why not just say profit then?
Profit would be income - expenses.

But honestly I don’t AWS is as bad as their retail side to there employees.
