Is it weird?

I feel like it's more like Amazon just trying to monopolize everything. There are articles out there talking about getting Amazon-ed. Where Amazon would go in your industry and dominate you out the market. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamescahn/2018/04/24/dont-let-y...)

This is just a natural thing or the thing that Amazon does. Their modus operandi.

> what medicine they take which could in turn reveal metadata like sexual habits

They do recommendation system and I believe they sell sex toys so yeah... Alexia knows your kink already.

It's not weird but I think the better question is is this okay for one company to have so much power in so many area. Or at least I believe that's what you are trying to convey.

I guess I meant weird in the moral sense. It's certainly not unusual given their past behavior as a corp.

Sort of depressing, really.
