Amazon has been fantastic for my small business.

The fees aren't too crippling (around 15% of revenue) and FBA is an absolute Godsend for anyone based outside of the US trying to crack into that market (similar for Europe).

I could not thank Mr. Bezos more for the opportunities Amazon has given my family. The income from FBA was a major factor in my decision to quit my job back in 2020, and because of that my daughter can be with her daddy every single day.

The problem with Amazon is that a) for every story like yours, there are 5 that say the opposite, and b) it's all enabled by abusive labour practices.

I don't disagree with b, but I'd suspect there are many, many more people like me in the silent majority.

You just don't hear about it much because it's a boring news story.
