Retailers chafe at Amazon's tight hold on data, Trump bump in subscriptions wanes for publishers, Trimming the fat: Streaming skinny bundles are all the rage, but for how long?, My Email Subject
| Facebook is attempting to placate publishers upset about its role in spreading fake news and with their limited ability to make money from it. But frustrations with the group at the forefront of this effort, the media partnerships team, run deep. "Amazon's not a great partner." For brands, the choice is no longer whether they work with Amazon -- it's how they do it. And retailers are unsatisfied with the data -- of lack thereof -- they receive from the online behemoth. Subscription-driven publications have experienced record sign-ups in the months after Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. election. Six months after Trump's inauguration, the growth has now leveled off for some of them. Some consumers have opted for streaming skinny bundles with fewer channels over pricier cable packages, but the sustainability of these bundles is in question. Sign up for Digiday+ to find out why. From Tearsheet: It seems like there's nothing Amazon can't do -- cloud-computing services, music and video streaming, payments, credit cards, small business lending. But does a "Bank of Amazon" pose a real threat to legacy financial services?
