Post

It recived a government bailout and contracts. Paid by taxpayers The rich are because they sustains themselves with taxpayer $$

lol. High on his own supoly.

Bezos cozies up to Trump, Washington Post losses subscribers, cause and effect.

When Bezos said 'if people aren't paying for our product, it's not good' CNBC showed a graph of subscriptions since Bezos took over, right?

How do of all these rich and powerful guys so painfully lack self awareness? It’s as obvious as his bald head that it was his incompetence that killed The Post! They can own just about anything in the world except their responsibility for their failures.

I paid for it until he blew it up.

🤮🤮🤮

Well he definitely has matured the way over ripe fruit does

Matured as in 'grown older'? Yes, that's a fact. Anything else is a joke.

Maybe Bezos should allow his reporters to actually report.

You killed that paper already. People need to be able to believe what it prints.

Translation. .I just want to make profits

And yet under most newspaper models, sustainability came from selling eyeballs. Just as with social media, WE are the product. The buyer is advertiser. The subscription model was rarely what sustained newspapers. Ads did. So what exactly is his product with the Post? Us?

He's personally responsible for destroying what made it a DC institution and one of maybe four newspapers of true national significance. And now he's blaming the paper for how people have reacted to his meddling. Man, fuck that guy.

I stopped subscribing because of his absurd leadership that whitewashes Trump’s corruption.

I camt stand this penis looking mfer.

He is talking about asset stripping for the tax break. Buy the business, tank it, write it off against Amazon earnings.

Roses are Red. Violets are Blue. Fuck you, Bezos, You dumb motherfucker.

Maybe if a teacher in Queens didn't pay more taxes than Bezos...more teachers would read the Post?

That's funny. He can't afford it??

He picked the one with the expensive breasts.

What a dumbass. HE is the reason people stopped paying for The Post with his dumbass changes. Just create and fund a foundation and donate The Post (like the Wikipedia model). Then walk away and let the foundation board manage it.

Subscriptions like mine were canceled as soon as he bought it. May have something to do with quality

it sounds like the owner should fire the publisher

Was Amazon a bad product for all of the years it lost money? How long until it stood on its own two feet?

Basically liberal, left leaning people were the overwhelming majority of readers and subscribers. Over 70% of the people who identified the Post and the NY Times as their primary news source voted for Harris. Going MAGA Lite was not about making money it was to push pro right policies.

I understand what he is saying . I was paying for it (for decades) and now I am not.

A reminder that extraction is all they know.

That is what the immoral GOP loves about him. 🤯 He steals elections 🤯 He robs the U.S. Treasury 🤯 He takes healthcare and benefits from seniors 🤯 He snatches citizenship away from Dreamers 🤯 He targets the rights of black Americans 🤯 He erases the innocence of girls

So fire writers And hire ai ?

Free verse is FAMOUSLY easy to write well.

The typical mumbo jumbo rhetoric of a politician. Is that next?🙄

Yeah, like Blue Origin.

If only Sorkin asked the painfully obvious follow-up: if profitability is what matters, why did you kill the Harris endorsement, causing hundreds of thousands of subscribers to cancel?

Sir, would you consider splitting off the Editorial Page as a separate subscription and allow that section to sink or swim in the marketplace? If not, why?

NARRATOR: “It is, in fact, NOT good enough”.

I bought your “product” for 40 fucking years you dissembling piece of shit. I ended that long-term investment after you spiked the Kamala endorsement in ‘24. Also, fuck you for calling a Pulitzer Prize-winning publication a “product,” you insensitive, ignorant Trump sycophant.

I'm not paying for Amazon so your products must be shit.

Does having less staff make it a better product?

Sorkin never goes hard in interviews. I find him frustrating.

People happily paid for it UNTIL Bezos bought it and turned it into something else. HE is the reason it's collapsing.

Follow the Data ? No follow the money , it’s always all about the money and how much they can hoard

So close to figuring it out

How bout, making a product someone wants to read?

"If people aren't paying for our product, it's not good enough." Correct!

People bought newspapers for obits, classifieds and school lunch menus. Those have been better on the Internet now for decades. Newspapers in specific and reportage in general are not mass market services you can value by subscription revenue generated.

So did I. Bezos needs to fire some robots.

He looks REALLY different. Weird...

I used to pay for it before it was terrible

You gotta really wonder why someone would buy a money losing operation. Yeah, except that normally when, you know, hedgy. guys come in, they chop up the company and sell it off a part. Here he just took an unprofitable company and just drove it into the ground.

That was called a felony back in the day.

Greedy elite bastard

Well he’s right that people aren’t paying for it and that it’s not good enough.

Exactly. Bezos himself is the reason The Post lost hundreds of thousands of subscribers, triggering the decline in revenue.

Yep. I was going to include that but forgot to as I was typing. Pffffftttt.

Bezos speaks the truth. I'm not paying for his product precisely because it is not even close to being good enough.

bsky.app/profile/debt...

Roids good, truth bad

Pay for water, pay for knowledge, pay for air, pay for health all must profit even if you can't afford it! Also, haiku rarely rhymes... dick!

So what's trump paying you?

"Republican"?

Bezos

Shorter Bezos - We made our product shittier and now we have to have layoffs because people won't pay for our shittier product. See also: CBS News.

I did stop paying for it because it wasn't good enough and I wish I had done it sooner.

it’s true. I stopped paying for it when Bezos diminished the quality of the product by putting his thumb on editorial content and firing decent journalists. Broke my heart as it is my local newspaper

I understand people aren’t paying for the Post as they once were, so… it’s not good enough? And why is that?

No idea why Bezos didn’t follow the Philadelphia Inquirer model. It was so obvious.

We're all looking for the guy who did this.

F that bozo

Kinda like the Melania movie jeffie....should be profitable and "if people aren't paying for our product, it's not good enough"???? Lying a**wipe.

people aren't paying for it because it belongs to bezos.

How will firing all the good journalists improve the product so that people want to pay for it?

Narrator: People are not paying for his "product". Subscribers have fled by the 10s of thousands.

Who the FUCK is going to tell him instead of all this damn ass licking. Jesus

I only buy the most awesome news

There are somethings humans make that t we all enjoy or use daily that we dont intend to make a profit off of because of its usefulness. Then there's this guy who spits at that idea and then makes working there impossible to deal with and eventually guts the whole thing to sell. All for profit.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social: get him

"It would be like poetry without rhyming. It's too easy" 🤑🤮

This guy could eat all the shit and die and it’s not enough.

If I wanted to read what sucking trump dick sounded like, I'd just go over to twitter.

no surprise that when Bezoz and his whatever that thing he hangs with are out in public ... people started throwing shit at them ... Well done ✅

Maybe he should sell it to someone who actually knows how to run a newspaper.

Democracy died in this darkness.

“Money is the ultimate measure of worth. I mean, look at me, right?” 🤮

And firing a bunch of good reporters is going to make it better??

Didn't his changes cause a lot of people to unsubscribe?

A parasite.

Weird that these fing oligarchs refuse to recognize that people are tuning out from their “journalism” because they know the money is coming from Trump stooges.

Always makes my head hurt when smart (business) people are also so God damn narcissistic, willfully ignorant (and obtuse) 😒 ... UGH Bezos, you SUCK! He is going to cause the Post to die. Fuck, it's already on its last legs because of him.

It is not good enough. I was a rabid news junkie and WaPo subscriber for years. Loved it. No more. Jeff Bezos is not a force for good in this country that has given him everything. I won’t support anything he does.

Paul Revers stops at each house and asks if they've subscribed.

Poetry doesn't have to rhyme WTF

He knows damn well why people aren’t paying for his product anymore. He just doesn’t care; he’s trying to get government contracts for his empire.

It’s NOT good enough since you bought it!! DUH

Or, they don’t like the owner

The fact a greedy billionaire with no journalism experience at all fashions himself a newspaper expert, and that people clamor to interview him about it, is where we are. 🙄

We need to get the billionaires out of our mainstream media., cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/05/the-...

Turns out, his personality and personal politics has driven people away from the post.

So close to getting it

And everybody knows that the only way to make something better is to fire some people.

That is why my subscription will soon lapse.

#EatTheRich

Bezos needs to be one of the first to be purged from this world when sanity regains control...if that happens in his lifetime.

The need for news to be profitable destroyed network TV news. Now it’s 3 minutes of news headlines and 27 minutes of teasers, commercials, look at this car chase or shark bite victim, look at this cute kid or animal and the weather.

What a chud

If it didnt become a traitor nut-hugging rag, you’d get the subs

You can hear the whistling of the wind through his ears.

Bezos is really trying to be the best orange felon's prostate massager money can buy. He must have a big request on the way. It's unimaginable how much sweeter a deal he could get than he already has.

Perhaps people aren't paying for your product because there is a clown named Bezos in charge, who keeps his thumb on the scale. Oddly, people don't find that acceptable.

My only regret was I had but one subscription to cancel.

If people aren't buying our newspaper then it must mean it's not good enough. So what shall we do? Fire some journalists.

It scares the shit out of me that people want to Amazon-ify healthcare. There’s just no way “public benefit” services are going to survive if this is the route we choose. Everything will be pay-to-use and people too sick and poor to profit the owners will just die.😢

The news is product ladies and gentlemen. As we’ve long suspected

How much profit did the 'Melania' documentary make, Jeff?

Aren't fewer people paying for the Post now than when he bought it?

He destroyed it because he has gone fully right-wing. Why did he wait until now to do it if profit was the main consideration? He gave Melania $40M and spent $50M on his wedding in the same time frame. I don't think money was his main reason for destroying the Post.

I thought that was Lloyd Blankfein.

Why not make the Washington Post a porn network?

@rob-rogers.bsky.social

He lies like Trump
