What does this have to do with "scorpion"?
From the title, I thought it would be about Amazon competing with its customers, like Netflix using AWS to compete with Amazon Prime, and how its inevitable that Amazon will eventually have to sting Netflix.
- ojbyrne 12y agoFrom the article: "In addition, they always end up competing on every front possible, hence the chatter about Dropbox moving away from AWS since AWS has now come out with a competitive product. It appears that it’s just not in Amazon’s nature to collaborate with others."
- wdewind 12y agoI also was confused but I think he was referring to the constant (alleged) behavior of Amazon towards his portfolio companies in which they act like partners/potential acquirers and then just build the tech themselves.
- x0x0 12y agoamazon now is actively parasitic to marketplace vendors: they find the best selling products and compete directly. At some point this has to impact willingness for small shop owners to essentially show their books to amazon, right?
- opendais 12y agoYes, but that is a MWS issue not an AWS issue.
