We stopped using Amazon after the inauguration. Our life goes on just fine, just as it did before Amazon. You can do it too.
We canceled all our streaming subs during the Kimmel sitch. Weβve not started em back & life goes on. You can do it too.

AMAZON PRIME VIDEO BLOODBATH
2,847 employees got the email at 6:47 AM PST
"Your role has been eliminated effective immediately"
Badges dead by 7:15 AM. Slack access revoked mid-sentence
Senior engineers who built the entire streaming infrastructure. Gone
The team that shipped 40% faster last quarter using Claude for code generation. Eliminated
847 contractors in Bangalore just got handed their prompt libraries and deployment scripts
Same streaming platform. Same feature velocity expected
14 remaining Seattle engineers to "manage AI-augmented offshore delivery"
The kicker: those eliminated seniors spent 8 months documenting every architectural decision into internal wikis
Every code pattern. Every debugging workflow. Every performance optimization trick
That documentation just became training data for the AI systems replacing them
VP of Engineering sent company-wide: "This transition represents our commitment to AI-first development"
Severance packages include mandatory 90-day non-compete clauses
Meanwhile the Bangalore team already pushed 12 commits using the extracted knowledge base
One former L7 told me: "I literally trained the AI that made me redundant"
If you're at FAANG and not seeing this coming you're already dead
DMs open for anyone who needs to talk
