Generally, HN is bullish on Amazon, with the usual bear crowd.
IMO: Amazon has not turned the screws in ways that are causing signficant complaint. I would guess, based on the usual history of duchies, founders, etc, when Bezos starts checking out, Amazon's behavior will begin to significantly alter, and that will trigger a very interesting time. I'd guess that by 2025 (8 years out), enough pressure will have built up for antitrust and similar to be applied to the online giants. "Why is Google a virtual monopoly in search? Facebook ubiquitus in social media? Amazon in retail/online services", and the pressures from society will begin to force hearings and so forth. I would guess that the end game will be that the definition of utility services will be expanded and an load of regulation will be piled on them to ensure that it's not exploitative.
