Anyone old enough to recall Walmart’s rise to power will find amazon’s trend towards cheap crap familiar. Walmart sold dirt cheap Chinese stuff of dubious quality but customer service would replace it at the drop of a hat (similar to how these companies keep bad reviews down). As shown by Walmart’s success most people don’t care they just want cheap crap.
It took a while for Target to rebrand itself as the less crappy source of overpriced but better quality cheap crap store for the middle and upper-middle class. Perhaps someone will come along and do this to Amazon online. Whereas Amazon clearly doesn’t care that it’s selling cheap crap, someone could come along and apply a little more curation to the offering.
