Truth is, they are not making the money they used to due to the recession, so have upped Prime membership fees to £100 a year, laid staff off and now not giving to charity anymore

Amazon Smile
Amazon has just sent me an email to say they are ending Amazon Smile in February 2023 as it is only a small part of their business. They only issued 101 million pounds to charities last year. which they say is a very small percentage.

Re: Amazon Smile
Interesting Amazon's can't afford 101 million pounds, they apparently sank 1 billion dollars into their recent Lord of The Rings TV series, over $250 million just for the rights to the material. I haven't seen it but the ratings don't exactly make it sound like it was worth the money. ![[hah.png]](./images/smilies/hah.png "[hah.png]")
