You're arguing that less competition is good?
- dazc 8y agoI'm trying not to but, really, is the current situation better? How often do we see threads here about fake goods on amazon?
- mrgreenfur 8y agoI don't get why people are worried about this. This is Amazon's problem to solve and a core challenge of running an open marketplace. Let them deal with it. I'm worried that Amazon will use their power to unfairly compete with all of retail since they already control so much of e-commerce. I don't understand why tech folks aren't more worried about the concentration of market power in amazon & facebook.

If they don't solve it someone else will, and that someone else will destroy the perceived monopoly of Amazon. Alternatively Amazon will acquire them... in which case, Amazon will have solved it :)

- mcmacintosh 8y agoI guess he/she is arguing that the competition pressure from Amazon contributes in forcing sub-par offerings to get their act together or closing. Whether its level of competition is sustainable is the other side of the medal though.
- jakevn 8y agoIs it really competition if one of the competitors doesn't need to be profitable? How do you compete with that?
