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.
