I’m honestly sickened by the simping for Amazon in this thread. Pathetic.
Is it really dumping for Amazon? Or just dunking on influencers?
PQNLD, two dopamine hits for the price of one!
All labor deserves a livable wage. I don’t care if it’s something I personally find annoying. Fuck amazon for screwing people over, even if I find those people annoying, it doesn’t matter.
The labor should reward at least the value it produces. If it produces 0 value then the “job” shouldn’t exist.
yeah that’s the weirdo liberarian free market capitolism approach that hasn’t worked for 30 years, if you want to take that route. it doesn’t work.
More like everyone taking Zucks side in his cage match with Elon. We hate them both, a lot, but you’ve got to choose someone to root for.
For me it’s a bit like slime mold. I can mostly avoid contact with Amazon if I choose to; influencers just spring up organically around me an no amount of bleach can get rid of them.
I’m not rooting for Zuck, I just know he’s kick Musks ass. And even if it’s just another billionaire, I always wanna see a billionaire get their ass kicked.

Not all jobs need to exist. I think everyone here is saying they’re fine with “influencer” not being an option anymore.
I’d love for that to extend to professional sports, but I understand that’s probably a bit too radical, even for Lemmy.
As someone who doesn’t really watch professional sports at all, I’m in no position to argue.
It’s labor that a company finds value in, ergo it exists whether you find it annoying or not. Just like telemarketing or insurance. What the issue is, is the simping for the company being able to pay dogshit for the service or not.
Nobody here is simping for Amazon no matter how many times you say it. We just don’t have any sympathy for influencers who contribute nothing to society.
you can say “i don’t like these people, but people shouldn’t be taken advantage of in the labor market” if you like, that wouldn’t be simping for amazon. simping for amazon is saying “lol good i hope they all get paid nothing because i find them personally annoying”
That’s not simping for Amazon. Simping would involve saying something pro Amazon, no one is doing that.
You’re right, no one should be taken advantage of, and if a job isn’t worth paying a livable wage for, it’s not a job that should exist. It seems like everyone agrees “influencer” isn’t a job that should exist.
Influencers don’t work for Amazon, they’re free to try peddling their nonsense somewhere else. But it turns out they don’t actually provide a valuable service to anyone, so no one wants to buy it.
Writers don’t work for netflix, they are free to try peddling their nonsense somewhere else. But it turns out they don’t actually provide a valuable service to anyone, so no one wants to buy it.
Postal workers don’t work for delivery companies, they are free to try peddling their nonsense somewhere else, but it turns out they don’t actually provide a valuable service to anyone, so no one wants to buy it.
Do you see how you sound now? Just admit that you don’t think some people should have a livable wage because you think their job is annoying. Oh no, not for those people, I don’t like them.
I thought we were talking about influencers here - the “give me free stuff and look at how much fun I’m having” crowd.
who are doing labor? or is it only labor if you like it
