Which works until Amazon becomes flooded with second rate product sources from Alibaba boosted by fake reviews, and a "job" means back-breaking work in a warehouse, or a precarious delivery gig with no security.
This society only operates because a lot of people don't care to understand how it really works. You get your trinkets more quickly, but the negative externalities for others are huge and damaging.
And there's a good chance that sooner or later those negatives will affect you too.
Meanwhile the lift from increased efficiency is often temporary anyway.
