> Coincidentally, Amazon brand products are usually pretty good in my experience, so this might not be a terrible outcome for users who have already decided to come shop at Amazon's store. So it's fine they're shafting other vendors on their platform because their products are good?

shafting other vendors They own the store. Shopify is a thing.

  It is utterly baffling that anyone is surprised by this. Water is wet, fire is hot, Amazon changes their website in ways that make them more money.

    Hate the game, not the player. The game is Feudalism on the Web and in E-Commerce.

Why not? If I search and find a reasonably priced product that fits my needs that is a success. Squeezed vendors is just how the world works, do you think Walmart just sits back and lets its suppliers dictate pricing or promotion?

Sorry, no, that's not the argument I was trying to make. I was trying to show this by starting the sentence with "Coincidentally." It was just a separate observation about the same topic. I am frustrated by plenty of things that Amazon does, by the way...I just don't think that this is a particularly bad feature of theirs.
