Should this story have a disclaimer that the paper is owned by the founder of Amazon, who is a competitor?

> who is a competitor

It is? In which markets?

[sharperguy]

Amazon owns twitch and Facebook runs Facebook gaming which is a direct competitor.

Amazon Prime video is also an indirect competitor to other time wasting products like social media apps / video sharing etc.

edit: Also don't forget data collection / AI / advertising.

Seems like a bit of stretch. Twitch and FB Gaming are like a drop in the ocean for both companies revenue.

How would you explain articles like this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/06/01/amazon-...

Digital advertising. Amazon generates $40b per year in advertising revenue.

What social network does Amazon own?

[mechanical_bear]

It’s digital advertising, not social media that is the competition.

Facebook market place...? Not really sure either

[bmelton]

Twitch

Interesting, I e never considered them social media, although the content delivery platform does have social aspects.

I don’t think twitch or YouTube are the same as Facebook or Twitter.
