    It’s possible for influencers to be garbage and Amazon to be garbage at the same time, it’s not mutually exclusive

    Pretty simple… if you are an “influencer” don’t do their shit work for them

      Seriously, quit and get a job which contributes to society if the pay is too pitiful playing MLM for Amazon.

    “One commenter pointed out that the amount of work needed to complete such a contract equates to a full-time job.”

    Oh, the humanity.

    Remember when being called an “influencer” was a suspicious and generally bad thing?

    Pepperidge Farms remembers.

      That’s exactly what they’re bitching about. It is too much like a real job.

      I’m honestly sickened by the simping for Amazon in this thread. Pathetic.

          All labor deserves a livable wage. I don’t care if it’s something I personally find annoying. Fuck amazon for screwing people over, even if I find those people annoying, it doesn’t matter.

              yeah that’s the weirdo liberarian free market capitolism approach that hasn’t worked for 30 years, if you want to take that route. it doesn’t work.

    What I get from the article is that only is the pay lower, there is no longer an “up to” part in the contract. Meaning you don’t get paid anything until you’ve created the full 500 videos. Meaning you can’t use it as a side hustle, it is a full time job.
