And in other news, Teespring is launching an ecommerce store. Seriously though, the thing that Teespring really nailed for me is the experience. It's so unbelievably smooth, hats off to that team. Every inch of the product is very well thought out. I just doubt that Amazon can do something as well when it's one of the million things they have on their plate.

Well, Amazon also has an army of middle managers, engineers, and others.

When has an army of middle managers ever been a competitive advantage?

I love these weird unexpected Amazon projects. They're like the opposite of Google's moonshots.

"What bizarre project with small potential can we pour a bunch of time and money into today?"

Wonder what the pricing looks like... any clues?

Not a single thing about the type of t-shirt? This basically guarantees it is the crappiest possible t-shirt with printing, not something you'll actually want to wear, right? i.e. something like cafepress.

I think it somewhat looks that way ,because Google is a technology driven company, while Amazon is more business driven.

So one creatively manipulates technology - you raise doubts about what weird technology will they be using( internet baloons ??? ) , while the other creatively manipulates business models - so you raise doubts about the business model .

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Probably understood this business more after their acquisition of Twitch.

I don't follow...can you clarify please?

Many streamers/ esports teams / etc make good portion of their money from selling merch.
