Why is that (it seems to me) whenever the discussion of Google's possible use of manipulating its search results for its own benefit there's a vocal response from all corners but Amazon gets a pass when then manipulate their results to similar ends. To my mind both are equally atrocious.
- dingo_bat 9y agoI am softer towards Amazon because they are a customer-oriented company. Google doesn't give one shit about me. Amazon gives the impression that it does.
- chii 9y ago> Google doesn't give one shit about me. Amazon gives the impression that it does. And yet, both companies, under the veneer of PR, does not give any shits about anyone except their own bottom line. Amazon just has better PR than google.
- ghostbrainalpha 9y agoThat's an interesting perspective. I am also softer towards Amazon because I can easily imagine buying products at a different website. Google scares me a bit more because I so often forget that its services are even products that I can choose not to patronize. Google has become invisible to me.
- munificent 9y agoGreat great branding and customer service. Almost everyone on Earth has a positive personal relationship with Amazon on the consumer side and it makes us complacent.
