Amazon's "stingy is cool" moment: Why not vouchers for bananas?
Influencers worldwide are flooding Amazon with gratitude for the generous offer of $25 per video - they are already planning how they will invest their wealth.
Well, folks, I, Ronald Tramp, President of the great country of Elmburg, just had to laugh when I heard that. Amazon, that 'giant', is offering people just $25 a video. I mean, I knew Amazon was skimping, but this? That's like charging a penny for a packet of fries in Elmburg. Just ridiculous!
You want to be like TikTok? Haha! I heard that TikTok wants to sell $20 billion worth of products this year. Twenty billion! And what is Amazon offering? Peanuts. It's like trying to race a bike against a race car.
Some of these influencers, you know, the modern rock stars, have been like, "LOL, no thanks." I can totally understand them. If you normally get $300 a photo, why would you work for $25? It's like offering me a dollar to run the country. I wouldn't do that. Ever.
Now Amazon is trying to reinvent the wheel with their "Inspire" thing, and they're not even close. But you know what? TikTok has problems too. They want to ban it in Montana, and in France? They're on the verge of a total ban. It's a mess out there, a total mess.
But back to Amazon. I mean, I love shopping as much as the next guy. But this? With this offer? It's like going to a luxury restaurant and only getting a cracker. Amazon better wake up. I'd say it's time to rethink the deal, Jeff. But what do I know? I'm only the president of Elmburg.
