This isn't just a shot to small businesses. DuckDuckGo, Honey, and Rakuten all depend on this money big time.

Amazon just wiped out the affiliate advertising game. Lowered commissions from 10% to 3%, effective 7 days from today. This is what it is like to dance with the beast.pic.twitter.com/uVI14dCyrd

Our country needs to focus on the coronavirus right now, but once we get past that, let's support the law in the below article. It won't fix what just happened (Amazon needs a competitor!), but it will improve Amazon for small businesses and consumers.https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1221997408864915462 …

Surprised they were as high as 10% to begin with, that sounds crazy for an entrenched behemoth

Amazon doesn't always take a 15% cut. Sometimes it is higher.

Yes...but 10% is not a normal commission with Amazon, it's more like 4%. They lowered commissions for things that were more like 8% and 5%. That said, agree with the sentiment, people need to diversify away from Amazon if they haven't already...

Thanks, this is a sensible comment. The OP was exaggerated for effect - my average is 5-6%, nobody has averaged 10% for years. So in reality it’s going down maybe 1 total % which amounts to 16-20% decrease for most - not the 60% the OP@is stretching for
