FLAMBOYANT SHOES GUY @bornwithatail” So Amazon has set up an army of bot accounts, allegedly from workers at various fulfillment centers, whose sole purpose is to jump on tweets critical of their benevolent overlord with the same stale cant about great pay & benefits. https://twitter.com/bornwithatail_/status/1032674364427251712

regular gem @Choplogik: This week Amazon started creating astroturf accounts that search & reply to tweets criticizing Amazon’s working conditions, a normal & regular thing companies do. https://twitter.com/Choplogik/status/1032739698274230272

Gay [gay rainbow emoji) – Amazon FC Ambassador‏ ‪@QThePinkYoshi: Replying to ‪@Choplogik: I would just like to assure everyone that we are not bots or paid. As an Amazon FC ambassador we take this seriously And I’m not holding up a script that was given to me to say, “We get paid well and are treated fairly”

Kassandra Yanez‏ @Kassadillar Aug 24: Replying to ‪@QThePinkYoshi ‪@Choplogik: Amazon is trying too hard if they have to go out of their way to say show that they are gay friendly. Why does your name have to be Gay???? it has no relevance. Also, why does you bio say you’re a gay ambassador. why is this information relevant????? how is it relevant?
