Do you remember Shutterbug? People literally paid for a "magazine" that was a collection of ads.

That sounds like the precursor to today's camera rumours websites, where every single article is smothered in affiliate links, basically making it nothing but advertisements.

Example: "One week left to grab the Benro Theta Intelligent Modular Travel Tripod with a 28% discount" being today's 'rumour' on the Sony Alpha rumours website.

Good point about the camera magazines. I can recall at time when I read both Popular Photography and Modern Photography and how each issue had at least a dozen pages of B&H Photo ads. Sometimes I wondered whether it was all the ads or the readers that kept the magazines going.

I had a subscription to Shutterbug, fewer and fewer photography articles with a lot of ads. I believe the print version was discontinued a few years ago.


Cheers,

Everyone familiar with this guy knows his specialty is to burn down the building and steal the copper wiring so to speak. Anything for a buck.

As the CEO he will oversee the demise of it, as other companies start cathing up and overtaking Amazon, essentially beating them at their own game.

What was Jeff thinking when he appointed this guy? I'il tell you, he was just shopping around for the cheapest CEO he could get. It was really simple.

Jeff is the type of guy who would buy a Ferrari and put the cheapest, oldest tires on it, just to be able to save a few dollars to feed his starving family.

Everything about this just reminds me of an episode of Looney Tunes, really.

You couldn't make it up correct, remove the J and the Y what are you left with?
