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

Does he not still own the company? 🤔

I mean, the Washington Post has someone else running it too but come on 🙄

@crcollins @andrew @susankayequinn Do you also avoid using microsoft, walmart, google and apple? They are all guilty of the same type of behaviors and support of the state of this country. If you are going to go after one why not all? All of these rich people have done awful things.
@sapphireangel @crcollins @andrew @susankayequinn I'm just going to gently point out that you're posting that question on the Fediverse, and it's a fair bet that many of the people reading it will be doing exactly that
