But their core business ( selling products online) is selling too much counterfeit products ( as mentioned here).

But if the sales on Amazon would collapse, in an instant it would all be gone... ( except AWS)

PS. Don't know why i'm getting downvoted..

I remember reading one of the quarterly earnings reports last year. It said: Amazon as a whole (including AWS) made $500m that quarter. It also said that AWS made $600m that quarter.

What this means is that everything Amazon does that is not AWS lost $100m in a quarter. If you reduce the size of that, Amazon will make more money.
