The problem is that there are a lot of smaller businesses that now rely on Amazon as a distributor. I often will go to order something directly from a site only to be redirected to Amazon. I recently ordered something directly from a site and then later was getting messages from amazon services about my package status. It really confused me at first since I avoid them at all costs.
Speaking of costs, no one is paying extra for others to be exploited. Most items are cheaper on Amazon, likely as a result of the exploitation. When I try to convince people to switch this is the biggest argument I get back. “But everything is cheaper on amazon!” “But you know why… Right??”
