☆ A new book reveals how Amazon used 'shady' strategies at its bookstores to drive up Prime subscriptions
  + stars: | 2023-06-23 | by ( Jason Del Rey | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
The following excerpt reveals how Amazon attempted to utilize its physical bookstores to bolster Amazon Prime and its other digital subscription services — in sometimes unethical ways. Among them were bookstores, under the name Amazon Books, which first opened to the public in 2015. Prior to the pandemic, store customers could view one of the free trial offers on a screen in front of them. Amazon spokesperson Jordan Deagle told me that there was no corporate mandate to increase sign-ups for free trials of Amazon subscriptions. The e-commerce giant just couldn't break away from its digital DNA, even in a physical store setting.

☆ Say goodbye to paper money — banks are quietly working to get rid of cash
  + stars: | 2022-06-14 | by ( Brett Scott | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +15 min
A payments system without cash is one dependent on banks that are prone to financial crises, systems failure, and cyberattacks. The digital chips promise you government-issued dollar bills, and that promise is empty if you can't get those from the ATM. Despite how crucial it is to maintain an inclusive, multimodal payments system with nonbank and non-digital options, our payments system is being driven toward a monoculture. Ads for digital payments don't say, "Enjoy the speed, convenience, surveillance, cyber-hacking, exclusion, and critical infrastructure weaknesses that our platform brings," yet that is what lies beneath the surface-level slickness of digital payments. The world's most vulnerable people rely on the already existing, physical cash system, and our priority should be to protect that system.
