## What Jamie wrote

After 25 years online, Amazon is shutting down DPReview. As Om shows, the traffic is down but it sucks to see such large resources like this just get shut off. Especially when owned by Amazon!

> The saddest part of the shutdown is Amazon’s decision to keep the site in “read-only mode for a limited period” after the shutdown on April 10th. That is a shame considering how valuable a resource has been for the internet from the beginning. It is even more disappointing because Amazon is the largest cloud provider in the world, and letting this live on wouldn’t even cost them a damn thing.
