This is just a drive-by comment from an outsider, but in case it helps you:
When you say "We know Amazon will make up anything.", it comes across (to me, at least) as an over-broad statement. The sort of statement someone with strong priors against Amazon would make. We _don't_ know that. You cite some valid examples of Amazon being sleazy, but even if you listed 100 examples, we still don't know that. Examples just mean they have made up some things, at some times — not everything, all the time.
I imagine you were just using hyperbolic language for effect, but that's just my 2¢ POV, in case it helps you avoid being misinterpreted in the future (:
- wenc 3y agoI know we shouldn’t comment on comments but I appreciate this rigorous and even-handed reasoning. Comments that are reactionary and unnuanced (“all big tech is bad! Because they’ve done this in the past.”) do not contribute to the discussion and are merely venting. I distrust comments made on this type narrative thinking that doesn’t address the precise issue at hand.
