Not defending it, but probably because Amazon isn’t media or social media. Well, Prime video is media, but it’s not a behemoth like Washington Post or CNN, so it’s not really relevant in the same way. I think the intent is to point out that almost every information outlet the average person learns about the world from is owned by a group of people small enough to get a table at a restaurant without having to call ahead. Fallout and The Boys being bundled in with your online shopping aren’t really influencing people in the same way.
Amazon serves up a vast amount of the Internet, has live video feeds of almost every neighborhood, is a big player in the AI space, is a retail giant, a movie studio, a streaming platform, and a logistics juggernaut.
It isn’t strictly media/influence, but also so much more. Scary stuff.
Why does every post ive seen like this leave out amazon?
