I wanted something fast and minimal for inspecting bucket contents, checking outputs, and updating files, without using the AWS console or heavier tools.

We suffer so much abuse from all of you. Many of you ask that reports be submitted through your bespoke (and broken) web forms. I am not sorry to inform you that I will not be wrestling with your web form for each abuse that we receive. We are just going to block your subnets.

So I ask again, please come up with:

1. A standardized report schema. Doesn't matter if it's XML, JSON, or whatever, as long as it is a standard, and you all adhere to it.

2. A standardized automated submissions interface. Doesn't matter if it's e-mail, REST, SOAP, or whatever, as long as it is a standard, it does not require human interaction to submit a report, and you all adhere to it.

3. A standardized publication of your submissions interfaces. Doesn't matter if it's WHOIS, RDAP, or whatever, as long as it is a standard, and you all adhere to it.

In particular, there were long periods in the past where Amazon managed positive cashflow while keeps earnings at zero.

I never connected the dots that Amazon used the same tactics on its customers. I just bought a book (Rust book if case you're curious) and afterwards noticed that it was a kindle book. I swear it must've taken be 3-5 seconds to press the return button. I decided to talk to customer support to make sure I had actually returned (it wasn't obvious at all, in particular ebook returns don't show up in the list of "all returns"). Anyway, I talked to customer support and they helpfully confirmed that I had indeed initiated the return and I would have the money back in 5-7 working days. So it took them <3 seconds to take my money, but to have it back it takes 5-7 working days.
