Amazon’s latest earnings report revealed something critical about the future of work:
Growth and layoffs now coexist.

With AWS revenue up 24% and AI investment projected at $200 billion, Amazon isn’t retreating — it’s repositioning. And to protect margins, labor becomes the variable.

Why This Matters for Affiliate Professionals

Affiliate marketing thrives in:

• Contribution-based economies
  
  

• Systems-first environments
  
  

• Portfolio income structures
  
  

Unlike employment, affiliate income:

• Doesn’t require permission
  
  

• Scales with skill, not tenure
  
  

• Rewards clarity and consistency
  
  

The Real Lesson

AI investment doesn’t kill opportunity — it shifts it.
Those who understand how they create value can plug into systems without being owned by them.
