So amazing to see this come to life.

Alec convinced me to move to Brazil with him in 2014. I went for 3 months, and he's still there doing absolutely amazing work.

Can't wait to see this and extremely proud to call @AlecCutter a friend

[Alec Cutter @AlecCutter]

Three years ago, I asked a group of friends and colleagues to follow me down an insanely ambitious idea for a documentary series… for the chance that maybe one day, it might end up on Netflix.

I’m indebted to every single one of them as I announce that this collective dream has come true. On June 20th, our documentary series “The Root of the Game” will premiere worldwide on Netflix!

This series is a love letter to Brazilian football, to the favela communities, and to the people whose stories are rarely told—but who are the soul of what this game truly means.

There’s so much more to come (and I promise to be better about posting more 😬!!) - but I wanted to first just say ‘thank you,’ to every single person who has believed in my career and in this project. Thank you to Netflix and specifically Elisa Chalfon, who has believed in this project from the very beginning!

More soon!

I will be boycotting Amazon’s advertising next week to protest the company’s greed.

I hope you all can join me in doing so and post a screenshot proving so after you have.

@ShinghiD 1) this absolutely sucks

2) i thought i saw in MDS that we'd get offered 30 day invoicing on the ads... but I haven't seen anything from Amazon on this.

overall, I haven't seen much of anything communication wise from Amazon on any of this.

[Eugene Khayman @EugeneKhayman]

My community has $15b of yearly sales on Amazon with 800+ members.

These are small businesses. They employ real Americans and support local communities.

They do not have large margins to absorb shocks.

Every year Amazon squeezes them more and supports overseas Chinese sellers instead of local American businesses.

Now Amazon is hitting sellers with even more of a squeeze all back to back:

https://t.co/Xc1IeD5QHd has moved many sellers to DD+7
Meaning funds are held until 7 days after delivery, not simply paid out on the old cadence.
https://t.co/YkUKQvr0Uo just added a 3.5% fuel/logistics surcharge on fulfillment fees.
https://t.co/L9WWJUDkr8 top it off now Amazon Ads charges will be pulled directly from disbursements rather than floating on a credit card.

That combination matters.

Amazon already forces sellers into an environment where ads dominate visibility.
So now the same platform that pressures brands to spend more on ads is also tightening payout timing and pulling more cash out before sellers ever see it.

For a very large business, this is just a minor annoyance. But for a small business making payroll just got 50x harder.

Less cash on hand means:
less inventory
more stockouts
more debt
more strain on small teams
and ultimately a worse customer experience

This is not “supporting small business.”
It is starving the brands that create so much of the value customers come to Amazon for.

@WSJ @business @nytimesbusiness @BusinessInsider @ReutersBiz @CNBC @APBusiness

If you’re covering Amazon, local communities hit by a hard economy and large companies trying to squeeze hardworking Americans hit me up.

@michaelpatron0 @ShinghiD @amznsellerhelp some sort of sick april fools day joke but they missed the actual day

[Casey Ames @caseyames]

@TaylorHoliday was the decision purely sports based? Like, you were good at baseball, and they thought holding you back would give you a better chance at college/pro?

[Casey Ames @caseyames]

@MattiSchroder @iamkevinkrieg I like what you're doing at Kleio - but TW also pulls in Amazon data. So not exactly a replacement for TW (which I've been looking for)
