Hi there. Amazon has knowingly tricked people into signing up for Prime subscriptions, and an SNL star is headed to space this month.

Let's dive in.

1. Amazon has known for years that it funneled people into signing up for an Amazon Prime subscription without them realizing it. The Federal Trade Commission has asked Amazon about whether it tricked customers into signing up for Prime subscriptions. Internal documents show that some employees felt it did.

• Since at least 2017, the company has been concerned that user interface designs on Amazon.com have led customers to feel manipulated into signing up for Prime.

• Amazon executives were aware customers felt tricked. Plans to clarify the sign-up process were considered, but shelved because they reduced overall subscription growth, the documents show.

• "We have been deliberately confusing," one former employee told Insider. "It's very un-Amazonian in terms of customer obsession."
