Way past its prime: how did Amazon get so rubbish?

I canceled prime when they introduced ads. That means I no longer spend nearly $1k a year on other things from Amazon too.

They dont care. The mismatch in power between trillion dollar companies breaks the traditional accountability relationship between seller and buyer.

I've seen (somewhere on HN) it compared to soviet central planning committees: decisions are made by people so far removed from any actual situation on the ground and with so little accountability they have no hope of making correct ones, and then sooner or later, whatever they're in charge of collapses.
