On my site I have long since routed requests from Amazon associated IP blocks directly to the wood chipper, so it’s nice to see that I was vindicated in doing so. Their request patterns did indeed look pretty scrapey and I was wondering why.
Why would a retailer turn down an additional resource that drives customers to their site?
Amazon also rolled out a “Buy for Me” feature last year that surfaces products from other brands’ websites and lets shoppers complete purchases without leaving the Amazon app.
Ah, that’s why.
Why would a retailer turn down an additional resource that drives customers to their site.
Why would independent artisans be obligated to sell their products through Amazon?
cause it’s a monopoly?, and that’s how they work?
amazons whole business plan is undercutting popular items by contacting suppliers/manufacturers behind the scenes to capture any new trends, you either have to have a very strong moat/control of your suppliers etc. or you will get boxed out by cheaper amazon brand eventually.
It’s like the skievier part of DoorDash listings, where they’d list restaurants that weren’t on the platform, make deliveries for them and send angry customers to them when DoorDash fucked it up.
wow, tumblr is fucking garbage
from the bullshit cookie banner than doesn’t have a reject button, to the persistent overlay after you clear that… just… alright, another site to blacklist on my network
