Obviously. And they gained 400m too, but still 1.4 billion is an insane number. And that's just after 1 week from the reduction.

Though it’s good to see it but it won’t really have any effect as Amazon is serving literally everywhere and even those who didn’t brought from them now know about them, who knows they suddenly realise they don’t need Affliate it’s a scary situation and amazon site owners should prepare for such a scenario

That's why it is kind of shaky for so many in IM to make themselves over-dependent on tech giants like Amazon or Google for their income. A single change in their policy, and poof, there goes the money.

This will actually result in a massive drop in their initial revenue. I rather create a store on Shopify, import some good products, create a website, write a well detailed informative and "best of" articles, and link to my store.
People will definitely buy from you if the products you promote solves their problem. Amazon should go to hell!!

They're big enough since a long time to not give too much fucks about SEO.
If i want to buy something, i go to the e-commerce store directly, which is mostly eBay for me, i don't fancy Amazon. But it's just me, they have hundreds of millions of users. And if i don't find something on eBay (or Amazon), just after that i search for it elsewhere, which is still not Google primarily, but price comparison sites.
They can hardly keep up with the order volume now, they don't necessarily want to grow bigger in a fast pace. They will still grow bigger slowly by doing nothing.
