So far each big, unpopular decision by Bezos has led to significant cancellations of paid subscriptions. Since it's happened more than once I don't think it's safe to assume the remaining subscribers are happy either.

Bezos cancels planned endorsement of Harris: 300,000 paid subscribers cancel in period up to election. (400,000 new paid subscribers over the period, but they offered significant promotional discounts)

Bezos tweets change to opinion policy: 75,000 paid subscribers cancel within four days

With in the order of 2.5 million paid subscribers before all this started that's significant losses.

It’s surprising to me that in America newspapers are expected to publicly endorse a candidate. Not even trying to pretend to be neutral.
