Why Amazon Has To Lose Money
from the maybe-if-we-believe-strong-enough dept
So, Amazon is still losing lots and lots of money, but this article explains why this is a good thing. To be honest, I agree to a point. Investors are definitely supporting their rapid expansion, and if they can really manage it, they're right: they're going to build an insanely strong worldwide franchise. The question is if they really can do it, and once it's built sustain it. So, if you're betting on Amazon, you're betting on their management's ability to execute.
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.
