I thought Amazon was sort of magic in a scary way twenty years ago, but as you say, lots of people had a similar impression. What's interesting are the people who don't see the threat even today.
- seibelj 6y agoWhat is the threat? No one makes me use any of their services or buy any of their products. But I have and will continue to do so because Amazon is so obviously superior to the competition. Recently I have begun ordering from Walmart. Why? They have upped their ecommerce game. Just as Sears was once dominant and even sold houses via catalog, and no one in 1930 could have imagined Sears going bust, no one in 2020 can imagine Amazon losing its dominance. But Sears collapses, IBM fades, and the world moves on. In 2020 I’m happy Amazon exists, proud America allowed it to grow, and don’t feel ill-will towards people who voluntarily agree to work for them.
