Would the massive, ongoing counterfeiting problems be something you'd except as evidence of that? :)

  No. It being an ongoing problem doesn't mean they're not trying to fix it. Is that the only evidence you have? "Problem exists"? Some problems are just... hard problems. Google has massive issues with SEO spam, and has for a long time. Does that mean they're not trying to deliver higher quality search results?

    > Does that mean they're not trying to deliver higher quality search results? Clearly that's not a goal they're aiming for, nor have they been aiming for that for years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSGVk2KVokQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSGVk2KVokQ

    In that case, what would you find acceptable as evidence?

    > Google has massive issues with SEO spam, and has for a long time. Does that mean they're not trying to deliver higher quality search results? Google has a history of publicly discussing their efforts to fix this, not to mention conflict with legitimate businesses complaining that they've been caught in the crossfire of Google's war on SEO spam. I'd consider that powerful evidence they're trying. Is there similar evidence of legitimate businesses getting in trouble by Amazon's sincere efforts to stop counterfeit sales? Or instead is there evidence of legitimate businesses getting hurt by Amazon's failure to do stop it?
