         | Your numbers are too low. The actual revenue for Amazon is
         | $100B+. How come you are reporting net revenue so low?

           | Why? Amazon relies on AWS and Amazon's in-the-trenches
           | experience no doubt helps shape AWS.

           | Ebay and Paypal split, but Paypal was worth a lot more than
           | Ebay at the time and now it is worth ~10x as much.

       | I guess this was mostly priced in already, because they smashed
       | the street estimates but still only gained 3% after hours.

         | it could also be that relative to alphabet, apple and shopify
         | they had jsut a good quarter. MS beat estimates and saw daily
         | losses yesterday, likely attributed to rebalancing market-based
         | portfolios.

         | I'm actually kind of surprised at how "low" the growth was from
         | 2020 to 2021 considering overnight entire countries became
         | dependent on Amazon for purchasing in some cases.
         | 
         | I'm in Canada, with the locks downs, curfews, etc my entire
         | shopping experience since 2020 March has been:
         | 
         | - Amazon
         | 
         | - Costco
         | 
         | - GoodFood (Had before covid)
         | 
         | - UberEats (Twice because of work vouchers)
         | 
         | - Home Depot (soil & lumber to build a raised garden bed)
         | 
         | Nothing else.
         | 
         | Edit: Formatting & added home depot

           | I think the number of people that changed their shopping

           | continued to do what they used to. For one, things sold via
           | Amazon are very expensive (especially liquids) compared to in
           | store options and most people were and are stretched so they
           | can't just up and spend an extra 20%+ or whatever to get
           | delivery.
