Amazon Snubs Critic
from the silly-decisions dept
Apparently, Amazon.com chose not to invite one of its harshest critics to its latest analysts' meeting. This seems like a very stupid decision. It's certainly not encouraging honest discussions of Amazon's potential (which should be the point of the analysts meeting). If anything it seems childish. You would think that Amazon would want him there to try to prove him wrong. Instead, it makes you wonder what they're trying to hide.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
