Amazon to pay $2.5 billion to settle FTC allegations it duped customers into enrolling in Prime

Just based in the ballpark numbers from another on of these articles I saw today, it works out to like 40 some bucks a person. Just absolute garbage.
- Fines are just the price of doing business.
According to Yahoo finance, Amazon had $638 billion in revenue for 2024. The settlement amount of $2.5 billion is about 1/250 of that revenue. It's like if a person making $100k a year got a $400 fine. Truly a devastating blow. Will Amazon recover? 🙄
I'll be waiting by the mail for my piece of that pie.
At this point ordering from AliExpreas is a better experience than Amazon.
- It absolutely is, and the shipping times are no longer a gamble of 3 weeks to 4 months. They're all pretty quick.
