"We have nowhere else to go and Amazon know it." The FTC and states are going after Amazon, largely for stopping merchants from offering discounts elsewhere.
The charges seem to revolve around how Amazon treats third-party sellers on its platform. It would seem, then, that I can avoid being a contributor to that by only purchasing on Amazon items which are sold by Amazon. And because their Prime free shipping costs them more than it does me, my choosing to do so only fucks them harder.

Goddamn the mental gymnastics of Amazon shoppers
Seriously.
“If I just buy more cheap junk I don’t need from Amazon it’ll hurt them!”
Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
It may fuck the company harder, but you’re also fucking all the mistreated workers that ensure the shit you ordered gets to you.
Jesus Christ man
Fuck Amazon by buying Amazon.
Are we still letting anyone vote?
If they’re losing money by offering free shipping on their own sales, yes.
Those Amazon items are mostly copies. So not really.
Do they still mix inventory so it doesn’t even matter who you buy it from?
