Amazon recently passed a $1 trillion market cap, but what makes it different from its competitors? In part, it’s data.
This includes a paid sponsored promotion which had no part in the writing, editing, or production of the rest of the video.

Dear Polymatter, your channel is seriously underrated. I genuinely get exited everytime there's a new upload. Wish you the greatest success all the way to a million subscribers and beyond.
Amen to that! 😊🙏
Heck yeah! In saying that, they’ve got an awesome community of subscribers like you guys and that’s great!
Aspect Science, seen your videos, love your channel! It seems that there is a tribe of UA-cam users and creators that watch lots of edutainment channels like Wendover Productions, Real Life Lore and other great channels.
I think the gap between the smart and stupid people will be huge in the future as the stupid people will waste their time watching trash like Logan Paul and Zoella while the smart people will be watching these amazing educational channels like Polymater, Aspect Science, Wendover Productions and so on!!
Agree
Yes
Amazon creepily starts reminding me of Wall-E's _'Buy n Large'_ , the Pixar universe's megacorp that slowly takes monopoly over pretty much anything commercial the world has to offer
@Super Cool
Shopping isn't really suppose to be entertaining.
@Super Cool
Sorry, but shopping was never made to entertaining. Sure, it can be, and some people do find shopping fun to do, but it's not fun like a sport, it's usually done out of necessity. If you can get what you need easier and cheaper then you should do it that way
@Super Cool Dafuq is wrong with you... *1 YEAR* for a set of shoes... I hope they are made of gold sir/(probably) madam.
@Super Cool Of course you have seen people first buy a pair of clothing online and then give up on it, but we don't live in 2010 anymore. If I were to buy clothes online I would get a waybill with it so I can send it back if it wasn't for me, so that isn't an issue anymore. Online shopping is taking over
I have no idea how that responds to anything I said
Make it 10 mins you deserve the extra revenue

He’s no sellout! 😒 that’s what makes him very likable!
@@alanl9497 "hes no sellout" literally every video has a brilliant/squarespace ad
@@maurogori5425 he puts work into his videos. He deserves the money
@@maurogori5425 SquareSpace and Skillshare are actually really good services
@@maurogori5425 dude a person needs to make money, just because there are sponsors doesn't mean he's a sellout. He's a genuinely great UA-camr with a great attitude. The fact that he needs sponsors means he takes time to make the videos, that makes him dedicated and amazing.
Amazon gonna be Buy N Large from Wall E in the future

I like Amazon, but surely anti-trust is going to hit on then harder then how Israel hit the 3 nations coalition in 1967.
"It knows how to rank first on its own website."
*amazon control panel noises*
I do wish Amazon verified real companies like Nike instead of promoting knockoffs. It's hard to tell what real and fake when you're not hold the product in your hands.
Rudie Obias There are a lot of knock offs lol
Doesn't really matter as long as it looks the same and it's quality. High reviews = good enough product
Juat buy from nikes website then...
Nikes website doesn't offer 2 day shipping and a good return policy, Amazon does. I also trust Amazon a lot more with my private information than I trust Nike
@@TheythinkimNinja Trusting AMAZON with your private info more than nike?I dont know what exactly has nike done but amazon is messed up there...
What a great video! The way you tied in the product placement at the end was perfect.
Liked the video before watching because I know I’m going to learn something really interesting. Thanks!
The richest company in history is the Dutch east India company,it was worth almost 8 trillion dollars
OK

It owned a country and it wasn’t a company to say so
@@MimOzanTamamogullar No
it was owned by the dutch government, it was a company in the same way USPS is technacly
Your animation is so much better than most informative channels on youtube. Definitely subscribing.
3:41 - You could also fly 4000 miles to the island of Britain and still meet up with ASDA, a Walmart company.
Lmao target knows when someone is pregnant before her father
That's completely nuts, imagine that! Maybe these loyalty programmes aren't such a good idea, they just might expose you 😂
Why is that a bad thing?
Charalampos Koundourakis: Well, other than people wanting to be the first to know what’s happening to those who are close to them, this can lead to information about you being implied (correctly or otherwise) and people using that against you.
It made news so you can confirm
The surprise teen pregnancy is always used as an example of how ads are so incredibly accurate, but it ignores the millions of baby stuff ads sent to young women who are not pregnant. It was demographics and luck, and possibly a related purchase or internet search, but unlikely for a paper ad. I'm 30 and have been bombarded by baby stuff ads for years. I have never been pregnant, but based on my clicks, advertisers know that I'm a woman of child bearing age. Target is not full of psychic super spies.
"Amazon has a protection against these claims"
*Proceeds to tell you exactly how amazon is actually a monopoly *
Your transition to the sponsor was honestly a work of art and you got me. I never get caught on the sponsor transition
Your description of brilliant is better than most other I've seen who's been sponsored by them, I love it.
I bought a ball for my dog from Amazon.They brought it from China to my home in Anchorage Alaska for five bucks.
However you slice it that business model is not survivable.
Funny how your not aware who the sucker is...they paid $.05 per ball in bulk. US military keeps oil prices low and USPS via tax payers subsides the shipping cost...congrats on getting ripped off.
The profit they make from aws is what has allowed amazon to get quick and cheap deliveries.
Your videos are always so damn entertaining and informative to watch. Keep up the great work.
The retail world is so interesting. It's all psychology at the end of the day.
Man, your way of analyzing marked positions is so impressive
Great video as usual bro
All this, built, handpolished, and refined by you. You are perhaps one of the better UA-camrs out there.
Great video as always! Keep up the great work
One of the best transition to the ad towards the end
Why a re-upload? Anyways awesome work keep it up
Hit the wrong button - sorry for making everyone wait.
@@PolyMatter no problem , the later the better (^.^)
@@PolyMatter That's actually kind of funny
Well done Sir. You have just earned my Subscription. Looking forward to more content. :) cheers
This channel is a gold mine. Merry Christmas!
Adding the sponsor content so oragnically was Brilliant! 👏👏
Machine learning at the end. So interesting. Studying it now
"If your name rhymes with real-de grass bison"
Nice
Lol i like how polymatter smoothly and discreetly link data advantage to brilliant in the end for promotion
Those sponsor transitions are so smooth. Well played.
3:04 laughed from my heart.
It's funny how yesterday I did a presentation on Amazon and their valuation in business class and this video was uploaded after the presentation. I'm sad that I couldn't show the class your video.
Amazing video! loved it!!
you make the best consistently good content
Why was this taken down earlier btw notif squad
When you use graphs with no x and y axis labeled and no reference to scale, you might as well be throwing up pictures of kangaroos
I love your videos.
Fantastic job.
Good info, great and easy language, amazing pace and mind blowing findings.
4:50 best story ever...
You were right about apple. Tim cook explained it in an interview.
Hey PolyMatter. These videos are awesome. Its so good you do it in basic animations. I watch this when im high and man i love it.
Im going to get into brilliant soon when i have some more time. :P please keep up the great work.
beautiful video, analysis of amazons advantages was top notch! Thanks
Very informative video and great graphics. As for Amazon being worth $1 trillion, I think it is priced very high for it's actual earnings. People are buying more for the growth story than the actual fundamentals. During the internet bubble there was another blue chip growth story stock that was supposed to reach $1 trillion dollars soon. Then the bubble popped and 18 years later this company is still down 60% from where it was when everyone loved it. If Amazon's growth slows the people who buy Amazon for the momentum and the hope of high growth will abandon the stock and it will trade back to a normal P/E. When that happens, it could drop 70% or more. When the internet bubble popped in 2000, Amazon dropped 93% from it's high in just one year. History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.

We love your channel, it's very informative and interesting.
Please make a video on Taobao, the amazon of China
Loved the video. It's super informative & well made in terms of audio visuals as well. Keep up the amazing work!

ANIMATION
Great overview, thanks a lot!
I love this channel. The videos are great, but there's more to it than that. This guy's segues to sponsor promo's are so buttery smooth that I never see them coming..... Lol I may come for the videos, but I stay to guess when those GQ style promo's will stride on scene so nonchalantly that it's almost classy. 😆
You deleted this like 10 hours ago
delete the first video?
yes,, But why?
TechKerala what?
yeah ! same question
That's what I was wondering.
it had minor edit
Sukhalle
I love your videos. Keep good work.
your ad transitions are too slick
Make a video about animal agriculture!!
this channel just loves dissecting amazon doesn't it, honestly im not even mad this is great content and very eye-opening!
Great video as usual!
Lol
The ad is fused into the video itself.
Seamless transition. Just like Kento Bento!
Amazon has changed my shopping habit and the way I shop. It is so convenient as I don't need to get into my car and drive on the freeway and then look for parking and deal with long lines at the check out counter. Also, the prices on Amazon often is lower price than the retail stores and with prime shipping the product delivers in two days.
@@joere-uploader5766 No, he's just efficient. Why go through more work just to end up with the same product?
@@joere-uploader5766 Ok so... your proposition is that we make things harder and more expensive from here on out?
@@joere-uploader5766 My proposition is to continuously make things better as time goes on, because that's literally the entire point of progress. Also, what's wrong with someone not wishing to leave *their* house? And if you don't want to leave the house, ordering something online is the best option.
There's no point in getting mad at progress and calling it "laziness". Are you using an internet connected device right now? Well that's laziness, you should write a message and send a raven like they did in the old days.
Department of Motor Vehicles by your logic using a car to get to work is “lazy” because you can walk instead.
Technology is meant to make our lives easier.
@@joere-uploader5766 lame
Low prices doesn't seem to work as an argument against anti-trust laws. Standard Oil made kerosene cheap and kept it cheap but they still got broken up.
Polymatter, your channel is pretty good and your contents are great and they are simplified to the extent where anyone with a fair knowledge in English could understand. Thanks for you work. Kudos!
Your videos are freaking amazing!
I love how we normalized that target story by thinking "Wow target got that prediction right" but not "Wow Target is spying on my daughters sexual life and knows where she lives"
best part...the father felt he had to give a apology! lol!!!
This is a bad way of looking at it. An Ai looked at everyone who had a similar shopping pattern to her and realized an extremely large majority end up buying diapers, baby food etc... It was simple analysis, nothing else.
@@juniorbitare-hebert6711 The focus should not be on the AI, but rather on the data and the methods used by Target to obtain it. This raises the concern that people may not fully realize the gravity of companies having access to personal information, and the negative consequences that could stem from its usage.
Target is not spying on a woman's sexual life lmao, they don't have that power, they do have the power to observe their purchasing patterns and make a comparison with other buyers. It's no less different than noticing a close female friend of yours is more sensitive to smell or something, Target just notices it through what you buy.
And address? I'm pretty sure she filled that out herself when she applied for a card.
Getting information when you can't directly access it is like trying to figure out a secret recipe without knowing all the ingredients. Imagine being able to peek into the chef's pantry and see what's missing after they've cooked a meal. By observing this, you can piece together the recipe's unique flavor. Similarly, if you can control the information surrounding the inaccessible data, you can indirectly obtain the desired knowledge, giving you the power to access that information, it only would take a single mischievous, bored target employee with access to that data to whip up recipes so potent it would even make you pregnant😆
7:53 "It knows how to rank first in its own website"
Isn't manipulating search result placement illegal? The EU fined Google $2.7 billion for favouring its own shopping services compared to their competitors under anti-trust laws.
Why haven't seen this channel?! It's wonderful
Nice video my man! Huge inspiration to me!
Meanwhile we don't even have amazon in the Netherlands.
That's ironic because Amazon and every other corporation uses your country to evade taxes
Predictive Stocking is waaaay creepier than Predictive Stalking.
The next step will be Predictive Shopping. Items "you may be interested in" mysteriously appear at your doorstep while their costs mysteriously vanish from your account, lol.
How so?
Some form of this already exist (albeit it isn't very predictive) in the form of Amazon's "Subscribe N' Save" feature. You set a recurring purchase plan for a common consumable that you enjoy and Presto! products magically appear at your door and funs magically disappear from your account at set intervals throughout the year. The goal is to "predict" exactly when you've run out of your favorite consumable and ship it to you so that you're never have to miss out on your favorite product @@pwnmeisterage
Thank you so much for this video!!!!!!
Thanks for the informational video about marketing and true facts!
you are completely skipping the chinese e-commerce market and not even really mentioning it. it is misleading towards the viewers as they will think that amazon controls 49% of the market and so and on.
Huawei, Oppo, one plus, Xiaomi would like to disagree.
Alibaba's analytics and growth is even bigger.
I hope you do know that Walmart just bought Flipkart to jump in online market. Wait for a year. And they will partner with alphabet, to compete. Amazon machine learning has a huge way to go and also, they are turning into a seller platform so low prices will not be there for long. The only business that will actually make something for Amazon is AWS
north america centered channel
China allows their companies to go outside China, but not vice versa
Jeff would be 200 b$ by the end of this year richer than putin
@@InfernoBlade64 well technically it's the warehouse supervisors that treat the employees like crap. Some supervisors aren't that bad but with executive positions like that a lot of folks go corrupt (see Dallas mavs disaster)
People voluntarily accept a job "where they are treated like slaves" so what's the problem?
"voluntarily" in what world do you live?
Winston Shih
The money Amazon makes is managed way more efficeintly than whatever you can come up with, if it invested in "not treating people like slaves" it would make less profit and have less money to give its employees and to "not treat people like slaves".
@@CrystalStearOfTheCas Are people forced to work at Amazon?
Great content! High energy voice to it would be awesome.
Great video, keep it up!!

I’m such a loyal amazon customer, items are cheap, way more options, and arrives quick. Idk how but if I return something they usually tell me to keep the item and give me the refund.
Very well researched
Plug at the end was too smooth for me to be mad. Props
It’s nearly impossible to invest in Amazon because of its value (especially the value per share), as diversification gets difficult with those amounts of money...
Crevetta
passive funds with los costs are the answer - but that is less fun, as you’re not able to join the annual shareholder summit...
Yeah, a stock splie needs to happen
Hopefully more Indonesian watch this channel 😁
Mas jangan promosi kebanyakan 😂😂 Saya juga udh liat di channel satu lagi
Hi! kami sebenernya ga mau promosi kaya gini jg bro 😁
Cuma tanpa promosi gini, sangat sedikit yang lihat ..
Dlu kami sangat percaya bahwa "kualitas yang berbicara", namun seturut berjalannya waktu, kami liat kok kenyataanya engga juga ya .. Sbg sesama pengagum channel2 luar (spt kamu), kami cb2 liat history dari channel2 spt Polymatter - Mrk2 ini pun pada waktu awal2 juga melakukan hal spt kami, itulah yang menginspirasi kami untuk mengambil langkah yang kurang lebih "serupa" :)
Channel bertemakan edukasi spt ini (tmsk channel yg kt tonton skrg) memproduksi dgn pengorbanan baik waktu, pikiran, biaya, dan sebagainya .. dan kalau ga banyak orang yang kenal, tentu ga banyak orang yang share .. alhasil penontonnya sedikit .. kalau itu yang terjadi secara terus menerus, hanya tinggal menunggu waktu aja sebelum channel tsb akhirnya gulung tikar.
Channel luar dgn inisial "S", pada saat subsnya mencapai 100K pernah berkata = channel edukasi bukan "produk utama" dari industri ini, dan hanya bisa hidup apabila orang "tahu" dan "share" konten2nya.
Kami hanya "sebatas berusaha" dalam mencapai itu bro 🤓
Sebagai penggangum J.R.R. Tolkien, saya ingat beliau pernah menuliskan
“Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps because I am afraid, and he gives me courage.”
Kami percaya yang kami lakukan adalah "Small acts of kindness and love". Dengan memproduksi konten2 edukasi yang berkulitas secara "gratis", untuk semua orang yang "tahu" & "mau" menontonnya 😇
Hah oke. Saya tau PolyMatter karena recommended dari algoritma UA-cam makanya saya kurang suka dengna cara spam seperti anda yang lakukan. Saya sendiri pun share ke teman saya dan kebanyakan mrk kurang suka karena kebanyakan teman saya kurang suka dengan topik yang spesifik dan juga melihat UA-cam sebagai saran buat gaming. :\ (Untung ada Patreon jadi saya bisa support PolyMatter)
Tapi saya juga setuju sih tentang produksi channel emang butuh waktu dan biaya dan juga edukasi bukan "produk utama" dari industri ini. Dari dulu pengen bikin channel bertemakan edukasi dalam Bahasa Indonesia tetap saya gak percaya diri karena Bahasa Indonesia saya tergolong jelek dan kosa saya terbatas jadi saya lebih nyaman dengan penggunaan Bahasa Inggris. Tetapi, dari pengalaman saya, sepertinya konten berbahasa lain terutama Bahasa Indonesia agak kurang didukung oleh "UA-cam" karena saya sendiri pun jarang liat konten Bahasa Indonesia kecuali pas saya nonton berita Indonesia dari Kompas.
Saya gak bisa komentar banyak sih berhubung argumen yang anda bilang itu bagus dan juga saya gak nyangka dapat balasan sepanjang ini. Saya sendiri belum liat konten video anda sepenuhnya walaupun saya udah taruh di "Watch Later" karena saya belum terbiasa untuk melihat konten dalam Bahasa Indonesia tetapi saya senang bahwa ada channel edukasi dalam Bahasa Indonesia.
Jadi untuk penutup, saya setuju dengan anda dan saya juga percaya "Small acts of kindness and love" karena saya sendiri suka mengajar bhs inggris ke teman online saya. Kalau saya liat konten anda bagus, saya bakal komentar kok cuma bukan untuk sekarang :D

Because they deserve it. One of the best companies ever
How, they are literally trying to become a monopoly then jack up prices.
anon they sent jacking up the prices. But if they do one day, USA has anti-monopoly laws that will shut them down
That's what every company is trying to do but the difference is Amazon is actually doing it. They have faced the law several times with their acquisitions and their growth, it's pretty obvious.
i beg you get a job there and see how your opinion changes
Really? Thing is that you have to have a large enough competitor in the first place to be able to provide for enough people. And who will that be if amazon manages to outcompete everybody in one of it's or all of it's respective fields and then subsequently those companies go down. Even if the providers for amazon eventually decide to stop providing and selling directly, who stops amazon from merging with said companies or to make their own? Who says that they even exist in the first place?
Such a great video.
Genius Analysis. Thank you!
