And yet everyone cites Amazon as the gold standard. Have you tried to use their disconnected, inconsistent, terrible user interfaces? It's like you're talking to a completely different company switching between departments of the same store.
- nine_k 7y agoThe thing is that Amazon is emphatically not a small business. Amazon's customers are a pretty captive audience, and have to put up with what they got. Same with other giants / monopolies; this is why monopolies are bad for customers.
- esyir 7y agoYou'd say that, but the competition is worse. I put up with Amazon's issues because the competition, well, they don't quite compete.

- MrMember 7y agoA while ago I started getting advertisements for Prime for Students interrupting every checkout. I graduated nearly a decade ago. Though I did recently start grad school and I did in fact sign up for Prime so maybe Amazon knew before I did.
- Kaiyou 7y agoTrue, but they're miles ahead of the "competition", thus they are the gold standard.
- playpause 7y agoI've never heard anyone cite Amazon as the gold standard of user interfaces.
