Astroturfing. Amazon has PR teams that come here and sow seeds of "pff it doesn't even matter" in order to make people cynical and complacent.

Yeeaah nah, I can absolutely promise you that Amazon PR isn't wasting their time trying to make a few hundred thousand Lemmy users apathetic lol. This is such a crazy level of paranoia

Nice Try, Amazon PR Flunky!

And I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling Lemmings!

Repeat after me: amazon deserves to be broken up!

Also I think amazon is responsible for a measurable spike in inflation

I highly doubt that. Regular people have no real ability to effect the outcome, and the majority of people are saying “there’s no way this absolutely bullshit situation gets fixed” not “what is there to fix? Nothing is wrong!”

No company is paying their PR to say “Yeah [we] are real pieces of shit that need to be hacked up and thrown to the wind but [we] are gonna come out of this just fine so suck our cocks.”

That isn’t how PR works. At least not till they hit dictator levels of power.

PR people aren't stupid. They know how to muddy the water and make efforts like this seem unimportant because it prevents people from galvanizing. Its the divide and conquer strategy.
