The Daily Amazon.com News Novel
from the too-much dept
Here's an article that points out that there are way too many news stories about Amazon.com's financial status on a daily basis. With all the stories we've posted recently about pump-and-dump schemes and "news as advertising" (or was that "advertising as news") I wonder how such a massive number of published stories about one single company effect how that company operates and their financial performance. I remember a class I once took on IPOs where the professor said that going IPO was putting yourself in a very public fishbowl. Of course, that only matters if people are looking at your particular bowl. In the case of Amazon.com, it seems that no one can stay away.
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.
