I'm just glad there's someone to temper Amazon from world dominance... For now.

- AlexandrB 6y agoUnfortunately it's like Alien vs Predator. Whoever wins, we lose.
- nurettin 6y agoIt is a good move, until amazon starts taking blatant measures like banning traders with google shopping fronts.
- BiteCode_dev 6y agoAt first, me too. But amazon doesn't have a search monopoly, millions of android devices, google maps, or youtube to drive the sales. Neither do they have the huge amount of data google already have on people. Now there is a possibility that google fails because sales require a lot of IRL stuff they suck at. So maybe it will be a balanced game. But if they win, it's going to be a nightmare. Unrelated, but I'm also quite worried about Apple deciding to become a bank one day.

Don't forget that something like ~70% of their income comes from AWS. They may not be as visible as Google on the net but they are pretty much the largest provider of web services.
- BiteCode_dev 6y agoSure but they make this money in B2B, not using customers data.
