Amazon shuts down its failed Instagram clone

Superman is landing early—and Amazon Prime members get front-row seats. In a surprise collab with DC Studios, Amazon is letting U.S. members snag exclusive early screening tickets for James Gunn’s Superman three days before its national release.

Meanwhile, back in the marketplace…

  • Amazon scraps its social content experiment 📉
  • Toronto gets bold with a seller-first summit 💥
  • Early access opens for Amazon’s biggest seller event 🗓️
  • 3 tools to solve your selling problems 🛠️

TRENDING TOPIC

Amazon just confirmed it’s shutting down its Posts program—its short-lived attempt at bringing lifestyle content to the marketplace. According to Adweek, the move comes after the feature failed to catch fire with shoppers or advertisers. 

Translation: No one cared, and Amazon’s finally done pretending otherwise.

💥 What’s happening

Posts’ impressions tanked, engagement was weak, and advertisers saw little ROI

  • June 3: Amazon officially began deprecating the program.
  • June 16: Last day to create new Posts
  • July 31: Full shutdown

Note: The API is already closed to new users.

⏭️ On to the next one

But Amazon says don’t worry, something better is coming. 

  • The retail giant is rolling out a redesign of its Search and Detail pages. 
  • It's actively testing fresh creative formats. 

Posts may be toast, but Amazon’s still tinkering with ways to make brand content look sharp and sell better.

🏆 A win for ALL

One less distraction from what actually moves the needle: Sponsored Brands, high-converting creative, and smart PPC. 

The big lesson? Amazon isn’t Instagram. Stop chasing “likes.” Start chasing purchase intent.

TOGETHER WITH ECOM NORTH

Finally — An Ecommerce Summit that Gets It

Let’s be real: most conferences are built for clout-chasers, not brand builders.

Toronto Summit: Be Bold flips that on its head.

It’s Canada’s only ecommerce event actually designed for founders, operators, and marketers doing the work — not just talking about it.

No 45-minute monologues about “the power of community.”

No pay-to-play panels.

Just raw, tactical insight from brands you actually care about — like BOOM! by Cindy Joseph, Vessi, David’s Tea, and Mid-Day Squares.

🧠 20+ hours of straight-up strategy
☕ Real convos over coffee (not just networking theater)
🚀 Tactics to help you scale what you’ve already built

The vibe? Less “thought leadership,” more “how we actually did it.”
