I thought the problem with that was even if you chose to "buy" a product from Amazon, if a 3rd party seller is using Amazon's warehousing, Amazon intermingles products that they source themselves and from the 3rd party? So, y

Do they need to tie WaPo into whatever antitrust may hit Amazon? As long as it's hurting Jeff Bezos, I'm sure some will be happy about it.

Discord, at least, has a vastly different audience than a B2B enterprise product. A different tone is more acceptable for something like that, IMO.

I don't believe this is true in all cases. Maybe for some products, but at least other commenters here are confirming that some manufacturers refund the grocer for any unsold product. (So, Safeway only pays for the inventory that gets

Isn't the point here, though, that the shady people reach out to try and buy control of non-shady extensions? How would you know whether or not your previously non-shady extension is now shady?

You own it. One of the stipulations of being granted permission to install it, is that you (the tenant) are responsible for removal. So that incentive does not exist.

I think it's an agree to disagree situation, then. I just think society is better off when everyone chips in. Not when you nickel and dime everyone for specific services they use. You sound anti-tax in general, so I don't think I
