I suspect some of the recent media - well I can't really call them boycotts- refusals maybe- might just be hitting their bottom line somewhere. There's been some really interesting failures of various 'woke' media (especially movies and video games). These projects were all big, hundreds of million dollars spent to create them. A couple might even be Amazon shows. The people who pay for the games and the tickets are sitting on their wallets right now and barely anything that has come out this year has sold.

It would be one thing if it were just one major flop, but there has been string of them this year and Bezos is probably considering course correction because even he can only afford to lose so much. When people aren't watching his streaming shows and are not buying media from his platform, it's gonna hurt the bottom line.
