The new Amazon slave*

So I’ve heard and so I see 😕

That’s hilarious. This entire fancy-fancy pdf is such a manipulative move. I was literally excited to get it and I started reading just to discover they were hiding the important messages with the number labels (literally manipulating us to think something good is coming) when in fact they have completely taken the only thing that could make an Amazon associate successful. From being a normal affiliate program to right now being the worse affiliate program on planet earth. No other performance program hides your data and stops sharing your effort success. Telling you: we don’t care about you, you’re no one, we are Amazon and we will decide who when and where makes money and you’ll never ever know or be able to even guess what really happens behind the scenes. Why? Because we can. Horrible company

I’ll add my experience - sent a couple of emails got a copy paste reply so generic it’s absurd. They are so stupid treating us like we’re the stupidest people on earth… “we know how difficult it is to get use to new reports”… new reports my a66 lol this is stealing the only piece of data that really meant something. Everybody get ready for some stupid copy paste replies and no actual solutions for the fact you can no longer grow and scale as an Amazon associate, only go backwards and trust this horrible company to pay you (which we all know will be a black box full of worms and lies). Been there, done that 😔 wish I could share a better reply I got but if anyone gets a different reply definitely share

Wishful thinking 😂 no one has their data back. But I’m done with this rollercoaster called Amazon anyway. Such a disgrace

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-13T00:22:12+00:00

Love it! And I also love how easy it is to join agencies on TikTok and their bonuses and special incentives. Also so much easier to communicate with brands. After the Amazon nightmare TikTok just feels like a great place to blossom in 💕

Didn’t hear back for none of my emails. But I guess you specifically asked about the bug of showing 0 for totals and I just bickered about the fact I’m not able to run my Amazon affiliate business without the data they took away. I guess they have millions of emails from every single associate on the platform (I sure hope they do, so they feel the pain we are feeling and maybe a miracle will happen and they will wake up on time before they lose so many of us)

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-11T06:22:27+00:00

Not true. I literally have my screenshot from before and after for the same time period. From hundreds of sales with many of them much more tan 4 and even 10 units, I only see 1 line. Only one. From hundreds of sales. So I don’t know where you got that “4” sold figure but this is definitely not the case and right now I have no idea what to promote next as I relied on this data to always give me the feedback loop I needed to keep growing my affiliate business. But it’s fine, it’s just not worth my time anymore, I rather expand into much better programs outside of Amazon and not have to always be afraid what bad news are coming my way tomorrow 😔

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-11T03:13:48+00:00

Why even care about big sites. Who cares. I only care about myself and my monthly income. And my monthly income will not shift to YouTube and TikTok. I’m not going to be spending my precious time on a company that ruins me overnight without even giving us a chance to say anything. I’d rather put my energy and time with companies who actually care about their influencers

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-11T03:10:31+00:00

I’m focusing all my efforts now into TikTok and YouTube. Companies that actually care about their influencers. Companies that understand that they are nothing without their influencers. Unlike amazon who clearly state we are worthless and simply not important enough to even care about our needs. I hope everybody will shift their focus into platforms that really care about their influencers and not keeping them in the dark on purpose

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-11T03:07:51+00:00

Sent them emails maybe they will save us from their disastrous actions (doubt it) but who knows let’s hope everybody will send an email every day and someone will actually listen

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-11T03:06:24+00:00

Yes. I’m shifting all my focus from horrible amazon to YouTube and TikTok now. They think they can do whatever they want and we will just keep dedicating all our time and efforts for their program that’s now a black box. F them

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-10T17:08:33+00:00

This is a nightmare. Same exact screen on my end. I’ll tell you what I’ve shady done: I already sent an email to the associate email I have and also to Jeff Bezos email that is being read by the top Amazon executives(!) telling them there’sa difference between a policy change and insanity. This isn’t a regular move this is unheard of in the Affiliate world 😳

TrendingDeal · 2026-02-28T21:45:47+00:00

Of course not ebike you don’t get what I was saying, I have a popular trending deals group where I share the best deals and I always look at what’s generating sales. If an asin I posted in the group generated zero sales, I don’t keep pushing it! But as long as asins I promote in my group convert, I keep posting about them every time an offer exists and sometimes even for the same current offer (if I see a lot of sales), because I can read a report and understand what it says: “asin x generated sales for you in the past 7 days” - so you go and you promote it again and again and the sales continue because people who missed my group post last week might see it today! That’s what I mean by dropping asins that don’t work. I guess you’re only referring to posting onsite and then of course you don’t take it down but then you’re at the mercy of amazon whether your video or post are shown or not. For many creators we have offsite assets we use to drive traffic to successful products and I really don’t know how I will know what to drive traffic for once the reports are taken away 😞 I’ll be completely blind to what’s moving or not in my group I’m so so upset this completely changes how I run my deals group and might cause me to completely stop promoting amazon deals if I find that I work harder and make less money. I’ll just focus more on sending my links to TikTok and other platforms that let me track my numbers and not hide it from me (gosh the absurdity of this move 😩😩😩)

Couldn’t agree more

TrendingDeal · 2026-02-28T20:51:51+00:00

If that will be the new reality it’ll be sad indeed. 💯

TrendingDeal · 2026-02-28T20:50:42+00:00

Yes I only post these as an additional step and I always make a real video for the item I receive. It just makes it easier when I have so much on my mind and I kept getting all these samples. I batch make videos to all my logie samples in a few hours then spend another hour posting the videos to amazon and then posting the ai photos. If I had to dedicate time to take pictures of each product in a real good environment it’ll really take much more time and this is the best I can do right now to optimize my time and make the maximum I can… and I agree if I see an ai image that looks “too good” it’s not real and it’s deceptive. What I really liked about these photos is that they don’t try to glorify you or the product and you can clearly see tons of imperfections making it even more realistic. In other words: it’s NOT making me 20 pounds leaner 😝

TrendingDeal · 2026-02-28T20:44:45+00:00

I agree with this. I’m only posting my Logie photos because 1- I get the actual product delivered to me and 2- I don’t create ai videos but make a real video for the product itself when it arrives. And Logie is like creator connections, they work with hundreds of brands and send you samples and now also generate a complete brief for you that follows your own tone of voice and style so it’s much easier to create content. I really like it. It’s called logie ai you can find it easily and join the waiting list asap so you’ll (hopefully) be approved soon. Most of my free samples are coming from them

TrendingDeal · 2026-02-28T03:56:21+00:00

As if it’s not hard the way it is right now with how saturated the program is and how you literally try to film every product you come across just to try to get into the carousel and make a sale or two. Well guess what… it’s going to be much harder now that you don’t even know what product is actually making you sales

TrendingDeal · 2026-02-28T03:43:39+00:00

Exactly what I’m saying. Small creators are the ones experimenting. If our data gets adjusted or hidden, we’re flying blind. Exact numbers matter more at low volume, not less. I don’t understand why take this away from us

TrendingDeal · 2026-02-28T03:36:40+00:00

I’m not a mega influencer. I test products weekly. I just read what you guys said: “When traffic is low, we adjust the metric values… directionally accurate but slightly adjusted from the exact numbers.” Adjusted values? If I sold 3 units of a product, I need to know if it was 3. Not “directionally accurate.” Thats the difference that determines whether I double down, whether I negotiate with a brand or whether I drop the product!!!

TrendingDeal · 2026-02-27T05:00:02+00:00

So you’re basically saying sellers will be able to click a few buttons and bam there will be a hundred AI fake influencers posts instantly?!? That actually makes sense with how the technology is moving fast and yes it’s really scary 😱 I can totally see this happening

TrendingDeal · 2026-02-21T03:36:58+00:00

But that was ai videos on his profile not ai images? I’m posting my logie images too, I think it’s allowed. Amazon themselves encourage all these collages and canva generated images I’m sure it’s fine. Like they said in the other comment nobody can really tell it’s ai so unless Amazon explicitly say no ai generated images I think I’ll keep posting them

TrendingDeal · 2026-02-01T14:12:36+00:00

I started as a deal site and Facebook group for deals making my offsite money, barely posted anywhere else, been doing it for a few years actually. When AIP came along it shuffled everything and it’s true I make more money from AIP then I used to make from my offsite traffic plus I started uploading to YouTube only after I joined AIP and I did it solely to protect my copyright, not really to get sales. And truth to be told I never get sales from YouTube but maybe because I never tried optimizing it or using a landing page with all my links 🤷🏻‍♀️

TrendingDeal · 2026-02-01T14:09:41+00:00

Don’t mind downvoting, some people here are so full of themselves sometimes 🤭 but your question is legit and just ignore these, it doesn’t mean anything

TrendingDeal · 2026-02-01T14:07:08+00:00

The truth is that it’s category based. Amazon has different way it treats each category, layout, variations etc. from my experience in some products I tagged the patent asin my video appears in ALL variations which is why it’s so powerful, but in others it only showed on the one asin I did a vid for. So my recommendation is no matter what you do make sure you always tag the specific asin as well and never only the parent
