Your quote listed two different distinct groups of people that are both customers of Amazon: consumers and sellers. And there's a third group that isn't listed: the ad companies which are also customers of Amazon. And what's best for one of those groups isn't necessarily what is best for the other group.

So no, it's not very clear.

If the head of the fish is violating it, especially consistently, it's not a "culture". It's a tool to mislead people. The "use available tools to mislead people" is the culture.

(I'm not at all claiming this is unique to Amazon. But it uh. Does seem to be the case there. Like most large companies.)

Honestly it sounds like you've drunk the kool-aid.

And while I gave insight as to what it's actually like working with teams at Amazon, you've spouted speculation based on no experience or knowledge and now it sounds like you have nothing valuable to add to this discussion. /shrug
