Seriously someone smarter then me do the fucking math. How many minutes of profit is that for them?

Conservatively:

Amazon makes approximately 800k per minute, so in about 45 minutes they’ve recouped their money. Make it one hour just to cover all other costs, lawyers, etc involved in this.

That’s just the cost of doing business for Amazon. Why should they change their tactics if the fees are that low.
