Everyone is arguing as if Amazon is the only retailer here. Yes, they are a platform, but they are one of many. In fact, many people here contradict their own argument by saying that they are forced to go to other websites or direct to the supplier. Stating as much is tantamount to admitting that the market is functioning correctly. Amazon is great for some things and bad for other things. If it doesn’t meet your needs, go elsewhere instead of rewarding it with your business and then complaining that it’s too big and powerful because people like yourself keep rewarding it with your business.
