I mean of course it’s to reduce costs, increase profits, all the usual. But the reality is Amazon stock hasn’t done that great for the past year or more.

The company isn’t really innovating in any other way either. And as terrible a person as Bezos is, at least there was a focus on the customer. Since Jassy took over as CEO, it’s a much worse experience as a customer. They’ve reduced return locations, and they sometimes make you go through some BS red tape to return some items. AWS’ growth has slowed down and both Microsoft and Google are picking up market share with their cloud offerings.
