    I sincerely can’t figure out how to use Amazon anymore and I’m very tech literate. Top that off with their labor practices literally being criminal and you have a spicy pizza pie.

      I can’t figure out how they facilitate fraud and violate consumer laws, en mass, and nothing’s been done about it… I mean, apart from the blatant capitalist oligarchies we live in.

        Because we have a soft spot for monopsony for some reason. Probably because it’s how you get the crazy ROI that gave us billionaires… Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon - all of them were able to become the monsters that they are by controlling the link between buyers and sellers

      I second the other commenter just stop using it. I haven’t order anything from Amazon for the better half of a decade. There’s no product worth buying that can’t be found off Amazon.

      You have no duty to reward poor practices with your business.
