I've still never bought a single physical product from Amazon.
Only AWS, which I stopped using when they decided to raise their price I'd already locked in and prepaid for, which should be unlawful. Then I realized every traditional provider is much cheaper.

In the context of this thread, do you think that statement means anything? Amazon is (and I can't believe I have to say this) incredibly successful at selling physical products. It doesn't matter, at all, if you have or haven't bought a product from Amazon.
I might as well make a comment in a thread discussing menstrual pads that "I've never used a single one". This is true of roughly half the population.
It's relevant because someone implied that Amazon is not almost completely useless. I find it almost completely useless.

I can give you a giant list of technical novel developments that the doomsayers predict would go nowhere commercially and they were right.
Famous people said that about the Internet as well, back in the day. And about AMZ.
