I’m not going to renew my Amazon sub when it expires. I say it’s for moral reasons but honestly it’s cause they’ve made the search so incredibly awful.
I’ll search for things with the exact product name, still end up having to scroll down a ways to find it.
I’ll go back to buying direct from manufacturer websites.
I got hooked on that no shipping and Amazon Video for a short while, but I haven’t missed ordering from then in the last 8 or so months since I cancelled. As far as missing the video, yarr, avast ye hearties!
Sears is the clearest example ever of how the leaders of large corporations are not in any way competent at running large corporations. They are only competent at climbing to the top of large corporations.
Literally lmao. Hate Bezos all you want but the US can’t live without Amazon now; it’s another Walmart/Target now.
It can, it just doesn’t want to.
And all it took was anticompeting anyone who could provide a better service.
i haven’t ordered anything from Amazon for years. i think we would live.
AWS definitely indispensable.
Amazon, I’d like to hear your case for “too big to fail”.
Azure, GCP, OCI
I base my statement on AWS outages always being news.
Yeah but if it weren’t an option we would adapt. Commerce would not grind to a sudden halt.
Commerce does grind to a halt when AWS goes down. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/09/how-the-aws-outage-wreaked-havoc-across-the-us.html
What about the majority of the internet that runs on AWS things?

Thing with the video, I already get it from alternative means even while paying for it because Amazon doesn’t like to play in full quality on Linux.
It’s still baffles me how hard the ball of online mega Corp was dropped by Sears. When the world returned to catalog shopping, They failed hard.
Somewhere in the multiverse Sears is the online giant Amazon is in our reality, and it makes perfect sense.
