    “Privatize the profits, socialise the costs” may as well be Amazon’s corporate motto by this point.

    I feel for sellers who are faced with a slowly shortening list of alternatives to sell their products via to get as wide a customer base as possible, and feel pushed onto Amazon by its ubiquity. It’s a shit service for sellers.

      Oh come on ill give you that in 90% of corporate enshitification cases but if this was true amazon wouldnt still be the cheapest option for buying anything. I hate amazon as much as the next but lets be accurate here. Amazon Prime video, maybe but as far as deliverable goods, come on. They got walmart beat at their own game of lowest cost products.
