AWS will be a $1T business, Jassy says. But first, it will spend big.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy reiterated on the quarterly earnings call that AWS could become a trillion-dollar revenue business within five to 10 years. Amazon expects about $220 billion in 2026 cash capital expenditures, mostly for AWS, and plans to spend meaningfully more in 2027. AWS revenue rose 39 percent year over year, and Jassy forecast growth above 40 percent in 2027 and 2028, though shares fell about 6% in after-hours trading.

Reddit is moving to “a logged-in-only experience,” CEO says

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman confirmed in a shareholder letter about Q3 performance that the platform is shifting "to a logged-in-only experience." He said the change will give Reddit more signals for ad targeting, protect its data corpus, and help it adapt to emerging regulations, with tests starting in select non-US markets in Q4. Huffman also linked the move to a decline in search referral traffic, warning that daily active unique users could fall by a low-double-digit percentage in Q4 if current trends continue.

Sports such as Thursday Night Football, where the first six games averaged 17.7 million viewers, have also been a major driver.

Reddit will force everyone to log in

Reddit says it will begin requiring users to log in, first testing the change in select markets outside the US in the coming months, with no definitive timeline for a full rollout. CEO Steve Huffman says the move addresses scraping and automated traffic and improves the user experience and ad business, and that search traffic fell meaningfully in Q3.
