Amazon is a hypocrite.

Amazon sets rules that sellers on its platform must follow.

Images must be a certain way. No contact info on your Amazon listing. And no influencing the reviews of your product.

The problem is that Amazon violates its own rules.
“Backgrounds must be pure white (RGB 255,255,255).”

Unless you’re AmazonBasics

amazon.com/AmazonBasics-W…
“The image must not contain additional text, graphics, or inset images.”

But it’s okay if you’re selling Fire Sticks.

amazon.com/Fire-TV-Stick-…
Alexa what does “The image must not contain gratuitous or confusing additional objects.” and “All other products should fill 85% or more of the image frame.” mean?

amazon.com/Echo-Dot-3rd-G…
“None of the following are allowed in product detail page titles, descriptions, bullet points, or images: Phone numbers, addresses, e-mail addresses, or website URLs.”

This one gets double points for the “prime, but shipping in 1-2 days” delivery date.

amazon.com/Amazon-Brand-S…
What happens if you leave a 1 star review on an Amazon owned product? You get contacted by an Amazon representative! Under normal circumstances this is good customer service except Amazon sellers are not allowed to do this and don’t have the contact info. h/t @liranhirschkorn
There are 10s of 1000s of other products just like this, sold by Amazon, made by Amazon, which violate Amazon’s own rules.

Why is that a problem?

It gives Amazon an unfair edge. At any time, Amazon can use the rules to take out a competitor or just capture more sales.
Two days ago, Amazon, without giving us any notification or warning, suppressed 27 of our products from Amazon search. We lost 2 days of sales for 27 products because we put our packaging tag in the main photo. How is that a ban-worthy offense when Amazon does it themselves?
When you’re a trillion dollar company, you need to hold yourself to higher standards than this. You shouldn’t be unfairly competing with small businesses when you’re already milking them for every dollar through high commission fees and sponsored ads.
And doing these pointless banning of products just harms customers who get less choice.

@Amazon needs to clean up its act. @danperlet @davehclark

OPEN LETTER TO @JeffBezos & AMAZON (🧵): Image
I am writing you this letter because your company, particularly the retail side, is turning to shit.

If I don’t say this, no one else will.

I'm writing it publicly because I don't think there's another way for you to receive this information...
I have been selling on Amazon for over 10 years, my company has paid yours well over $24 million dollars, and your attorneys have deposed me for 8 hours.

The problem with Amazon turning to shit is that you're taking us and countless other Amazon sellers down with you...

Remember how I took over the internet for getting a UTI from a bidet?

This is part 2 of that story.

It's time for a 🧵👇 Image
Yes, I made it to the Daily Mail.

I wrote about how I got UTI and my post got 38 million impressions, mostly from people quote tweeting me, saying that I didn't get a UTI from a bidet.

I got it from anal sex. Image
When you're in a tough public relations moment like that, it's important to move fast and seize the narrative.

Which is CLEARLY what I was doing here: Image

If you are under 40 and live in America or Europe, this is the most important social media post you will ever see.

What I am about to tell you will be difficult for you to accept.

For most of you, it will make no sense, it will be inconceivable; this idea isn't even on your radar.

It is an asian century.

Everything you have been taught to believe needs to be thrown out.

We (the West) had a good run, but it's their turn now.

Power is shifting from the West back to the East and you need to adapt or you will live a mediocre life.

We have been propagandized to believe that this could not happen, that this idea is ridiculous, even that it's not safe to go there.

It's not true.

Again, I am sorry to say, but you will have to adapt to this new world.

Or you will live a mediocre life.

Here are 5 posts that, together, will blow your mind (if it is open):

1. The first (quote tweeted) was shadowbanned on TikTok. It will teach you what is happening in China. The powers that be do not want you to know.

2. The second explains why power is going to shift from West to East. The presentation does so quickly, powerfully, and visually.

3. The third is an in-depth conversation about how China is an underrated force on the global stage. For those not yet convinced (or interested in learning more), listen in.

4. In the fourth, I explain to Tucker Carlson how China is continuing to not only deindustrialize the United States, but de-innovate us, too. If we do not recognize this reality, we will be major economic trouble.

5. Finally, I explain how China is teaming up with Southeast Asia to create an absolute economic powerhouse that will define the global economy for the next 30 years.

Yes, I'm asking you to watch a lot of videos and yes, in a way, it's self-promotion but from the bottom of my heart, you need to watch these videos because they are going to open your mind up to a reality, that, if you don't prepare for it, is going to hit you like a tsunami.

Let me tell you a short story about the ignorance we have in the West for Asia.

A few months ago, I spoke to a waiter from Mexico who said that he doesn't want to live in MX because "it's too dangerous".

When I asked him why he chose to live in the US:

"It's the best, I've been everywhere: Latin America, Canada, USA, Europe."

He had been everywhere but he had never been to Asia, it wasn't even on his radar.

This is a typical viewpoint in Europe and the Americas.

And it is wrong, and if you don't wake up to the reality that Asia is snowballing into a huge military and economic force you could lose your career and lifestyle.

So that is why I'm asking you to watch these videos, because this is a powerful message that needs to get out here, not just for "the West" but for you. Knowing this will make you money, will save you from losing your time and money investing in the wrong ways and places.

There is one more thing I want to tell you.

If this thread gets play on X, you are going to see countless people attack me for being wrong, for being unpatriotic, or even for being a foreign agent.

Ask them where in Asia they've been. If they've been (unlikely), ask them when. If they can't tell you a recent visit to a major country in Asia, particularly East Asia (China is the most important one right now by far), ignore them. This shift is happening fast and is accelerating and they just don't know what they're talking about.

If we want our countries in the West to thrive, the best thing we can do is open our eyes, travel abroad, learn from others, and acknowledge the reality of what is happening, so that we can ADAPT TO IT.

So, please watch the 5 videos, bounce around as needed, learn, like, and share.

If you have an open mind, you won't be disappointed.

And if I've convinced you, GO!

Venture out, go to Asia, and see a whole new world that will blow your mind.

What I learned from having a video go viral:

1. Guess which of the following social networks shadowbanned the video: Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok?

(this is a thread)

It was Tiktok!

My allegedly "pro-china" video got shadowbanned on the allgedly "pro-china" app lol

Even though I submitted an appeal and it got approved that video is now dead.

I posted on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Tiktok...how did each do?

On Twitter, 33k followers got me to 2.9 million views.
On TikTok, 550 followers got me to 224k views
On LinkedIn, 1900 followers got me 3056 impressions

TikTok definitely seems like the place to post content that you want to go viral, if you don't have many followers.

WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THE CULTURE.

Our generation was deceived into believing that children were an unnecessary burden that meant the end of independence and an enjoyable personal life.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Here are 365 reasons to have kids, 1 per day:
REASON #1 TO HAVE KIDS:

You know that hole you have?

The one you tried to fill with money, sex, relationships, alcohol, or drugs?

Kids fill it.
REASON #2 TO HAVE KIDS:

They will make your parents (your kids' grandparents) so happy and proud of YOU.

One of the most AMAZING moments in life is watching the first interaction between your parents and their grandchildren.

Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.

I criticized Amazon’s policies in a blogpost.

Now, their lawyers are trying to ruin me.

This is a thread on:

1. What I said about Amazon
2. How Amazon's lawyers have retaliated
3. Why it matters to Amazon customers, sellers, stockholders, and even Amazon itself twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Four years ago, I wrote an article.

It had a simple message:

1. Amazon doesn't allow sellers to price their products for less off-Amazon.

2. If they do, Amazon hides their products.

3. This keeps prices off-Amazon high, which is bad for consumers.

This is a big deal.

Vox's Land of the Giants podcast interviewed me because of it...
