nobody really left Twitter, nobody is really going to leave Reddit.
Big difference between political reasons and usability reasons.

Your salary is only partially based on "the value created by employee" - most of it is the market forces of supply and demand. When you're remote, you're competing with a much larger number of people for the same positions.
I don't understand. If we are discussing two remote positions why am I competing with less people of its in San Francisco?

Free speech is not "without consequences". There's nothing stopping them from starting their own data centre.
There was nothing stopping them from starting their own app... Until Amazon came along.

Well, if Amazon were to crack down on this sort of thing, it would incentivize unscrupulous sellers to solicit fake 5-star reviews (through a 3rd party) for their competitors so that they would be punished. The only reason we have to doubt this is happening now is that there's no incentive to do it, since Amazon seems to be turning a blind eye.
It's a hard problem. The solutions most likely to work are also expensive. Amazon could create internal product review teams staffed by employees instead of letting users do it all for free, but it's hard to make that scale. It's also less transparent; one of the big appeals of Amazon early on was the novelty that you could go to a retailer and if you don't like one of their products you can say so for the world to see. Now most other retailers do the same thing and we sort of take it for granted now.
By that logic Amazon (or any other site) can never crack down on unscrupulous behavior committed by a 3rd party.
I'm loath to say it but Huffman has had a decade to solve this and hasn't. Might be time for new leadership with new ideas.
