No, they rolled their own in-house program to get real brainwashed dolts to be "brand ambassadors."
Not saying I don’t believe you at all, but would love to read about this if you have a source?

Searching for "Amazon brand ambassadors" should help you find more articles.
I think it's just speculations
Nope.

Interesting, I can't verify this though
How do you expect to verify it? Are the quotes directly from Amazon PR in that article somehow insufficient?
That's not what I 'm saying, I do believe you but it is not something I would tell someone else as a fact, knowing amazon it is very probable though
But ... it's a fact. It's documented. Amazon literally said they did it.
Alright, must have misread something, sorry
The article references a Belling Cat investigation where they find evidence suggesting it's legit: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/americas/2019/08/15/amazons-online-bezos-brigade-unleashed-on-twitter/
It looks like Belling Cat checked it out and figures it's real.
