> a return to bricks-and-mortar competition
That's not what is happening at all. Amazon dominates the ecommerce market, is still growing like crazy, is even still growing faster than the overall ecommerce market, and the ecommerce market is growing faster than the overall retail market.
No return to bricks-and-mortar competition remotely in sight here. It's a pity the spin in the article seems to have been accepted so uncritically in many posts here.
- ggm 8y agoWell, thats a shame then. I might add I believed it because of the false assumption "what I do is what everyone does" and I stopped using AMZN and buy in bricks-and-mortar deliberately for a reason. I do however, in some cases continue to buy online but from shops direct, not via their Amazon channel. I assumed the background was this is a "thing" but your story makes more sense: the rate of growth of underlying trends makes a single-line measure "drop" but it isn't what they say it is, its a decline in relative scale.
