Not much can be said about Amazon that hasn't been said already. Still, the internet goliath is starting yet a new chapter in its twenty-six years lifetime. Jeff Bezos, the man who founded this internet empire and has directed it ever since has stepped down as CEO.
He's not going anywhere, though. His power in the company and his influence in the American culture will likely remain untouched as he transitions to be an Executive Chair of the Board. He has said he plans to focus on new products and early initiatives.
But, at least for the records, it is the end of a big paragraph in Amazon's history, which is ultimately the history of doing business online. Let's look back at some of the good and the bad in these twenty-six years of tech history, with Jeff Bezos at the head of Amazon.
0:00 Amazon - Intro
1:04 Amazon - From books to everything
3:40 Amazon - Prime: the biggest membership
4:52 Amazon - The good and the bad
6:46 Amazon - Half a million jobs in 2020
8:09 Amazon - AWS, the power of powering the internet
9:37 Amazon - Growth over profits

What is your favorite product by Amazon? What’s the strangest thing you ever bought from Amazon? Do you think that Jeff Bezos’ has a political agenda? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! 🚀

[@omarcillo060]

My takeaway is that he played the long game, and he played it goooood! On the other hand, his business practices are far from ethical

[@shadieossei4336]

Planning to run for president in a few years maybe

[@devonkenneth7763]

you probably dont care but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me

Jeff Bezos' 4 rules for Amazon's success: 1. Obsessed over customers 2. Invent 3. Think long term 4. It's always day 1

[@daversalstudios]

Love how impartial you were in this video! Focused only on objective info and on what matters.

Ayyy my man been eating good. KZbin treating you well? 😂

[@joshuajoe1419]

They’ll easily grow, the online market place has tons of room to grow plus they might start cost cutting and raising prices which would help. Though the biggest advantage is the fact that the cloud industry is gonna explode so they are gonna keep growing for a while.

[@jayt1077]

Kindle wasn't the first electronic reader. Rather, it was the first to become widely successful.

[@KeyserTheRedBeard]

phenomenal video Slidebean. I crushed that thumbs up on your video. Keep up the wonderful work.

[@jdbb3gotskills]

I’m happy I found this channel. Keep up the great work.

Wow your brand promotion strategy is amazing... really worth the time. ❤️❤️

Glad you think so!

Hm..

[@akhildraksharapu]

quite a small video for such a Nice Topic & Name can cover 😐 the moment I said wow! there was the video ending with 11:48 Zyro

[@zaviermiller8980]

Watching silicon valley and they just mentioned Clinkle. I've never heard of them could y'all do a company forensics?

[@tashurastogi]

it would have been a better discussion to talk about how can amazon fall as all other companies do after there growth curve first reaches plateau and then finally starts declining...i have been thinking about this questions for a while and till now my best guess is that if drone technology is democratized as in it becomes very cheap to buy and operate a robust and functional drone for delivery then even the local retailers can probably benefit by delivering stuff faster than amazon...may be then we see the decline in amazon's retail business...

[@ahmedo7875]

No drones won’t work in most areas, but I think amazon will fall if someone like Walmart uses its stores as fulfilment centres to provide a load of products really cheap and fast and Microsoft and nividia provide cheaper and better cloud services because they have better OS and hardware developers and KZbin live is growing fast so twitch could be in trouble

[@rajveersanghavi5316]

1 really imp thing we can learn from Amazon, is to not to give a shit what people thing about the business or you, something a lot of people say but it's difficult to implement when big people and millions of people are again it Coz in the start he used to go to investors and say he will be a billionaire, he will take the business to the peaks but everyone laughed and ignored him This guy was one of the largest company which went pass the .com bubble burst

Growth over profit

[@yashgulave8366]

Jeff Bezos didn't just hire lobbyists to represent Amazon in Washington. He also, purchased the city's largest local newspaper and also the city's largest mansion. What a way to assert dominance. 😂😂

[@luckifunny]

It’s its. Not it’s. Your thumbnail title currently means “Amazon in it is prime?”

[@slidebean]

Well spotted!

[@derciobene3458]

Growth over profit is the way to go it seems. As an investment-enthusiast, I've always believed that profits alone, like, the single number, means close to nothing. A startup having 1 million dollars in profits, but not re-investing that profit in anything, choosing to 'stay a startup forever' is worse than one which re-invests everything and has 0 profits. The story of Bezos and Amazon is very inspiring

[@JoelChenFa]

The problem is not needing to see profits before investing is that Amazon is not a dime a dozen. SOoooo many investors burnt chasing growth.

[@alphasia91]

I most definitely do not use my Alexa for shopping. It turns my lights on, plays Jeopardy and Skyrim, and wakes me up. That’s it.

[@MyShakeweight]

And it records you so Amazon can more accurately advertise to you on your other devices

[@arthurtiradentes]

Alexa plays skyrim? Can you clarify that, please?

[@alphasia91]

@@arthurtiradentes Yes! I mean... kind of. There’s a Skyrim application you can add. It’s Skyrim but like... a choose your own adventure type of Skyrim. “You come to a plateau. A mudcrab attacks. You can use magic, use shout, use weapon, or flee. Which would you like to do?”

Amazon is way ahead of the curve for any would-be competitor to catch up.

Next, Microsoft Azure

[@hoppityhooper7065]

"Big fan of that guy by the way" All you need to do is lean more aggressively on the table and then you would be his replacement in the world.

[@heyrmi]

3:24 I don't have Alexa but Google Assistant sure got angry. Whats the bad blood between these two?

[@saljuapi]

one thing I learned from Jeff Bezos is that baldness is inevitable because if not, he could funding research to cure baldness years ago.

You’ve never seen musk in his early days of PayPal with his receding hairline that you won’t find anymore lol

people don’t hate jeff bezos for being rich, they hate him for putting his employees through hell.

[@michaelkorf1411]

And his sellers. The seller pays for everything. Shipping? We pay. Returns? We pay. Storage We pay. Also a hefty commission. Worst customers service for their 3rd party sellers also. And the list goes on. Necessary EVIL>

No way they ste still growing

[@joshuajoe1419]

No there is almost no chance they don’t keep growing.
