>Show me the alternative to Amazon

In the US retail market? Walmart (2x the size of Amazon), eBay, Kroger, Home Depot, Lowes, HEB, Costco, Target, Walgreens, Staples, CVS, Publix, Albertsons, Aldi, Macy's, Best Buy, OfficeMax, Nordstrom, Kohl's... I can continue if you want. Those are just off the top of my head.

>Show me the alternative to YouTube.

Netflix, cable, Hulu, Amazon, HBO, Disney, Sling, there's a few more. It's a very competitive market and it's why YouTube hardly makes any money, if they actually make any at all.

I think you are making the common error of conflating "big company" with "monopoly". Amazon doesn't control supply in a market like say the USPS with first class mail or your utility with electrical supply.

This is a mic drop comment.

Tons of competition to Amazon. Tons. For anything you want to buy, there are other places that sell it.
