Its scarier because there is no competition for amazon. The closest company that comes to mind is Alibaba/Aliexpress, but even they haven't had an affect on the US market to the extent that amazon has. The stores you mentioned are physical department stores, which have been competing in their own space for many, many years. Amazon originally disrupted the book market...now look at the amount of markets it dominates.

Correct. AWS is god-tier and many non-technical users have any clue how Amazon actually works. They don't make money off your stupid ass delivers Nancy. Amazon has a monopoly with AWS and that is what people should really fear. Not Amazon, but the power of AWS

  AWS has 33% of the cloud market share, I wouldn't exactly call that a monopoly. https://www.channele2e.com/news/cloud-market-share-amazon-aws-microsoft-azure-google/ https://www.channele2e.com/news/cloud-market-share-amazon-aw...

    That's because they're also counting all the server on a rack rental companies as cloud market share. If you look at just the cloud the way AWS does it - running code through their service in various datacenters as a service, it's above 50%.

    Source: I work in Critical Incident Response/IT Remediation AWS is absolutely a monopoly just like Microsoft has a monopoly on Corporate/Enterprise OS's tied to Domains. From a solely cloud based provider - not the Equipment renters or Volume based licensing. AWS is a monster - Their market share is well over 33% regardless of how many articles you google to link me. I am balls deep buddy. It is well over 33% (At least in the US)

      This is an insane take. “The data doesn’t matter because my personal experience says otherwise”???

        RENTAL RACK SERVICES are not purely a cloud based service in the way AWS provides. That article is not pertinent with the presentation of their 'facts'. That is not purely cloud market share. From another User on this thread: "If you look at just the cloud the way AWS does it - running code through their service in various datacenters as a service, it's above 50%." That user is correct and so is my 'Anecdotal' experience. I'll enjoy my insanity. Thanks!
