Panem et circenses exercises like this have always been part of the Seattle TPTB’s game plan, to be sure - but I’d submit that it would be difficult to mount any convincingly-compelling argument against the plainly-demonstrable fact that ever since the Screeching Harpy took control of the ASF, the insipidity has increased apace.
Sigh.
It was this for me:
So let’s do this, New Seller Community! Let’s flood this thread with uplifting posts and remind each other why we got into this Amazon selling game in the first place. I can’t wait to see all the positivity and creative energy you bring to the table!
I actually feel badly for CR_Amazon because I’m sure this post was crowd-sourced, provided in full, or AI-generated.
“Mood Boost”? So the Jeff Bezos Voodo Doll is BACK IN STOCK?
I do not think I could write an “uplifting post” about selling on Amazon.
Fortunately, I will not be proceeding to the NSFE to do so.
I can…
Still no responses… how pathetic.
Which part are you declaring pathetic?
I think the fact that there are no responses is highly admirable.
I do believe the posting of the thread is pathetic. Perhaps the kindest word I would apply.
Others would include insidious creepy insulting annoying
Do they believe we are so simple minded that such a thread makes us believe Amazon gives a rat’s patootie about sellers?
This same thing. I do find insulting that they treat us like cr*p and then come up with this cheerful nonsense.
Positivity Porn is so nauseating
It’s giving “good vibes only” as the front wall of the hurricane hits and you know it’s just the beginning of terror, destruction, and isolation.
And the threat to “be uplifting or be removed”
My dogs are extra happy to see the mailman with Amazon packages… jumping & barking.
Unfortunately he’s delivering returns with bogus return reasons
Trying to come up with something positive…How about
“Even the worst day on Amazon is 1 day closer to retirement” - the wife.
“If it wasn’t for Amazon, I don’t know how I would keep my husband out of my hair.”
There goes another spit-taken keyboard atop the ever-growing pile you ever-entertaining folks have forced me to accommodate…
I would say that the SILENCE on this NSFE post speaks LOUDLY - almost deafening!

insidious creepy insulting annoying
and condescending
It is pretty funny when you think about it. What tools some of these MODs are. They sit there all day long and read story after story about how Amazon ruined this or that person’s life. Then they have to post some BS like this or that.
Does Kate actually think that the forums could ever be a positive experience? That people would actually waste their valuable time to try and feel better about making a deal with the Devil (Amazon).

Does Kate actually think that the forums could ever be a positive experience?
Before that question can be answered, we should probably start with a simpler one:
