If no one gets paid, nothing gets made

Apple and Amazon Have a Problem: People Don?t Want to Buy Stuff Anymore

Interesting article on Wired.com: http://www.wired.com/2014/10/apple-a...stuff-anymore/

From the article: "The core of Amazon?s business?its original reason for being: selling books and other media?has grown wobbly. The problem: many people no longer want to buy stuff. They?d rather rent.

Amazon is not alone. This long-predicted shift in consumer priorities?from ownership to access?also seems to be taking a bite out of Apple, another business that depends on convincing people to buy things. For companies built on the practice of purchasing media, it?s time to reexamine basic assumptions."

Maybe you didn't get the memo, but porn is now free. Though if you're interested in paying for it, I'm sure you can find people who will be happy to take your money.

I'm not trying to sell anything. I want people to rent my media.

With the way tech becomes obsolete 10 minutes after purchasing it and how the cost of production keeps dropping to flood the market place. Well sooner or later someone is going to give the gadgets away but put advertising on.

Imagine before calling someone or sending a text message being forced to listen to an ad. Or you turn on your tablet and it tells you about sales on in your area.

Then its time to go hunting and learn to farm and forget the gadgets.

Amazon has another huge issue that they do not seem to want to admit: they keep starting new products that have absolutely nothing to do with their core business, or they start a product that can relate to their core business but they botch it so terribly that not only does the product not sell, but it makes them look like absolute retards.

Fire Phone for starters, and now they have a new item similar to the Roku Stick. Amazon has yet to make money, they have been in business for close to 20 years.

Hey Amazon, focus.

To me renting sounds as some sort of buying.

yepp, services where you can buy stuff are performing lower, but services where you can buy access to stuffs performing better, like netflix and spotify. also youtube, and the adult tubesites are doing still well, but I really see the future in the netflix and spotify models. That's why we are trying to make a similar model in the adult industry with our site

I had a pretty good Amazon selling business going for a while. I made $100,000 a year while still having time for other things. The problem started about 2-3 months ago. They added a bot that automatically beats any price I put up so Amazon's own stock is always the cheapest. It will go to ridiculously low levels and it's automatic on almost every idem I sell. I now have tons of stock that is pretty much useless now. Alot of it is electronics so the value is just depreciating with every day. This came without warning. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just Amazon shitting on the little guys because they don't care?

I'm really fucked and am currently minimum waging it up while I try to figure out what to do next.

I lived on a commune once,
Forget the gadgets we had no electricity and no plumbing. The walls of our homes were whatever we could slap together with junk we found. But the food we grew ourselves or caught fresh from the ocean every day. Plus it was human anatomy 101 as no one was overly concerned about wearing clothes and love making was just something everyone did to pass the time.

I don't know... Perhaps in a weird kind of way I should be supporting these new business models. Because if things get bad enough there will be more people that think like you. Then I can find another commune to live out the rest of my days on.
