- immibis 2y agoI've still never bought a single physical product from Amazon. Only AWS, which I stopped using when they decided to raise their price I'd already locked in and prepaid for, which should be unlawful. Then I realized every traditional provider is much cheaper.
- edanm 2y ago> I've still never bought a single physical product from Amazon. In the context of this thread, do you think that statement means anything? Amazon is (and I can't believe I have to say this) incredibly successful at selling physical products. It doesn't matter, at all, if you have or haven't bought a product from Amazon. I might as well make a comment in a thread discussing menstrual pads that "I've never used a single one". This is true of roughly half the population.
