‘Free Speech’s programs already informed me of this, & as a struggling inventor this is sneaky bad behavior, because putting these products-owners of the companies that make-sell the products would result in trapping them into having to follow Amazon illegal anti-compete practices, outside of Amazon market place.
On my site I have long since routed requests from Amazon associated IP blocks directly to the wood chipper, so it’s nice to see that I was vindicated in doing so. Their request patterns did indeed look pretty scrapey and I was wondering why.
Of course it does, it’s Amazon and it’s a huge American company.
They’re acting like Americans do.
Why would a retailer turn down an additional resource that drives customers to their site?
Amazon also rolled out a “Buy for Me” feature last year that surfaces products from other brands’ websites and lets shoppers complete purchases without leaving the Amazon app.
Ah, that’s why.
It’s like the skievier part of DoorDash listings, where they’d list restaurants that weren’t on the platform, make deliveries for them and send angry customers to them when DoorDash fucked it up.
Why would a retailer turn down an additional resource that drives customers to their site.
Why would independent artisans be obligated to sell their products through Amazon?
cause it’s a monopoly?, and that’s how they work?
amazons whole business plan is undercutting popular items by contacting suppliers/manufacturers behind the scenes to capture any new trends, you either have to have a very strong moat/control of your suppliers etc. or you will get boxed out by cheaper amazon brand eventually.
Match that with the fact you can try to avoid Amazon and shop in sites directly, only to and the product come in an Amazon box from your local Amazon warehouse, and all shopping is now Amazon.
I hate places that drop ship from Amazon.
It’s like Amazon’s goal is to become the Taco Bell in Demolition Man, only without the fancy.
Fun fact, taco bell was mostly popular in the US, so in the rest of the world, another Pepsi-owned fast food chain was subbed in: Now all restaurants are Pizza Hut
wow, tumblr is fucking garbage
from the bullshit cookie banner than doesn’t have a reject button, to the persistent overlay after you clear that… just… alright, another site to blacklist on my network
Ah, the good ol’ DoorDash runaround
