Crudely speaking, the fact that they work at AWS means that it’s in their best interests for AWS to be perceived positively.

When this is the case it’s often nice to state this conflict of interest, so others can take your appraisal in the appropriate context.

I’m not implying anything about the post, just stating what I assume to be the reason for the disclosure.

I always think of pence as 1/100 of a £, but pennies as multiple penny (1p) coins.
