Amazon is excluding spicy romance & LGBTQ books from the affiliates program. It's Bezos obeying the fascists in advance. And it highlights how, with the flip of a switch, they can easily shadow-ban whatever books they want.

I'm removing all my Amazon affiliate links & will deprioritize Amazon links

@andrew @susankayequinn Keep in mind Bezo is no longer the CEO of amazon so you guys can't blame this on him.

@sapphireangel you're... you're kidding, right?

@andrew

@susankayequinn @andrew Andy Jassy became amazon president and CEO July 2021.

@sapphireangel I know I'm just amazed that you think that's important to point out

@andrew

@susankayequinn @andrew I don't agree with what they are doing, but people need to stop tossing everything at the founder when he's not the one making the decisions now. He was and that can be faulted.

@sapphireangel Bezos empowered Trump, donated to the ballroom, funded the Melania movie, in every way has used HIS AMAZON MONEY to put the people into power who are enforcing Project2025 at every level they possibly can, OF WHICH THIS IS PART. Amazon is absolutely kow-towing to the fascists and Bezos is *making that happen*.

Your "people need to stop"... is an insult at best, at worst, it's making excuses.
