Jeff Bezos of Amazon is one of the most ruthless free-market capitalists in the world. The working conditions at his warehouses have been rural over the years and the large work quotes enforced on workers amounts to a form of modern day slavery. He has made some incredible stupid purchases and business decisions tough in recent months and it could be a sign that the power of Amazon is on the decline. First of all sales of his new stupid phone are a complete flop perhaps one of the worse phones ever to hit the market. Amazon has sold only 35 000 of the fire phones and is not even going to get close to the dismal sales numbers of the fire tablet. Any hardware future of Amazon is gloomy as they have consistently shown their products are much inferior and cheaper than their electronic rivals that have been around much longer than this dictatorial company.
The craziest news though was Amazons decision to spend one billion dollars for this ridiculous site called Twitch. This is some stupid video site of watching young losers play video games at home in their basements and how any investor or company can figure this is has any money making potential shows the insanity that is controlling the markets and managing the money of this nation. The figure thinking is this will be a clever platform to reaching the youth male advertisers desperately need to achieve but if anyone really is spending hours in their mothers basement making videos of them talking to themselves while playing video games they are not likely to be big consumers of other things. What I'm saying is that these guys tend not to be cool nor have girlfriends and the fact that Amazon and others would throw away money to business ventures such as this is a sad state of affairs. Twitch does not offer a platform to play other random people connected to the Internet around the world. That would be a little better idea and clearly this already exists.
I again remind you Amazon threw money to this company that only offers viewing capacities of watching dudes play video games and call out " bro watch this" either to their imaginary fans or friends through the web. Twitch may be the first nail in the coffin of Amazons coffin and this is a company that already had trouble profiting and functioning with its original business plan and this purchase gimmick is even more exposure to the technology scam that is taking money away from more vital interests and necessities of this country and the world than watching teenage losers play video games alone in their parents basements.
