TLDR, not an Onion headline, just a test to see what Amazon will allow. A person came up with a "Release" brand drink, filled bottles with urine, successfully listed them on Amazon, but only shipped them to friends that ordered them. Other people ordered them too though, but were not sent the product.

Another example of a multi-billion dollar company that doesn't curate their products/services. Costs too much money they would only profit 234 billion instead of 244 billion.

This is totally an Onion headline, just not an Onion article.

In the long term it's a terrible strategy. People will lose confidence and stop shopping there. I've almost stopped and I know I'm not the only one.

Not that most executives care about long term...

People will lose confidence and stop shopping there.

Well, the thing with that is Amazon has already integrated into so many other markets that it doesn’t matter what you the consumer do

And they're going to spend 1 billion dollars on themselves to make sure they don't end up spending millions on others.
