"Amazon shifted gears so that it now litters its storefront with pay-to-play advertisements. In addition to overcharging its customers, Amazon is degrading the services it provides them."
Amazon and bezos sucks, but Walmart and the Waltons is evil condensed. the only excuse to shop walmart is if it’s the only option for 100 miles. Amazon at least has aws and few redeeming pro services that pay their employees and provide infastructure to others.
Walmart is a last resort option. For example, my last purchase was an unusual size bicycle inner tube. I physically went to two other stores before ordering from walmart. I have no love for walmart, but Amazon poses the larger monopolistic threat. The damage amazon is capable of inflicting is only just beginning.
Amazon’s marketshare with aws scares me more than their retail presence. They will definitely use that market dominance to the detriment of society.
Agreed with all of that. And luckily at my current shop, im a proud user of azure devops. Now thats a company who is good for competition and doesn’t contribute to any social injustices. Sigh. Well I guess at least our available infastructure options and datasets arent managed by the ccp. Smh that will teach me to think my horse isn’t so high
Between home depot, target, best buy, and walmart I can typically find most things I’m looking for.
I usually try to shop by reviewers first and check if the manufacturer sells directly. Retailers don’t need to get a chunk of every purchase.

As it should. AWS is making Amazon a feudal lord in the cloud space.
