Lots of things that are "normal" become highly anti-human when done with Amazon's scale and lack of human review/input.

This would make more sense if the consumers benefiting were not human.

Sure, there is a short term consumer benefit in that someone gets to save 9 cents on AA batteries. It’s not at all clear that consumers benefit in the long term from Amazon becoming ever more powerful.

It matters how many humans are benefiting, versus how many humans exist.
