- Analemma_ 7y agoI think that’s less about being afraid that Amazon will steal their data, and more that they don’t want to give any money to an entity already steamrolling them

I've heard claims of this happening to more than one retailer. Personally, I wonder if that isn't an emergent property of a lot of people trying to scale at once.
