No, they rolled their own in-house program to get real brainwashed dolts to be "brand ambassadors."

Not saying I don’t believe you at all, but would love to read about this if you have a source?

Searching for "Amazon brand ambassadors" should help you find more articles.

I think it's just speculations

Interesting, I can't verify this though

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How do you expect to verify it? Are the quotes directly from Amazon PR in that article somehow insufficient?

[–] Micromot@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's not what I 'm saying, I do believe you but it is not something I would tell someone else as a fact, knowing amazon it is very probable though

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But ... it's a fact. It's documented. Amazon literally said they did it.

[–] Micromot@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago

Alright, must have misread something, sorry

The article references a Belling Cat investigation where they find evidence suggesting it's legit: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/americas/2019/08/15/amazons-online-bezos-brigade-unleashed-on-twitter/
