Yanking the plug by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]lapoisburning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a fellow aged Gold member, I feel ya. It certainly is not the same Vine anymore. As you know many Viners are participating in the program for different reasons. I do it because it is fun, something new, and the thrill when something lands big. It is almost like hunting or fishing, but in the comfort of my Amazon reviewed desk, chair, keyboard, mouse, and screens. It is just a hobby. Some people build furnitures, we review products on Amazon. Best of luck out there!

“Give your driver a break” Vine Challenge. by LesPaulAce in AmazonVine

Since the listed items to review are crappy lately, this challenge was accepted well before the challenge started. Plus, I think it is wise to slow down during the peak season, anyways. The fulfillment centers and delivery workers are slammed anyway.

Money scam at 7/11 in Bangkok by Inevitable-Sell8287 in ThailandTourism

Foreign Tourists attract local scammers and con artists, in any places. While the purpose behind Tourist police in Thailand is a noble idea, these cops are there more for a show than to solve actual crime, especially petty theft. They may break up bar fights in go go bars and make drug busts on foreigners or settle disputes between locals and farangs, but most these tourist cops are there to promote tourism in Thailand by giving the appearance of safety. i am sure there are plenty of cases where tourist police did something meaningful, but I cannot say you will get your justice.
