Amazon is breaking under the weight of coronavirus vice.com/en_us/article/…
There is so much to unpack here. On the one hand, the pandemic is breaking everything and halting economic activity, and desperate measures are necessary.
On the other, Amazon has spent the last five years monopolizing online retail and telling retailers and small businesses to "grow their businesses" by using Fulfilled by Amazon services.amazon.com/fulfillment-by…
Because it has this monopoly, it has the power to, in one fell swoop, kick people off the platform and destroy businesses. It has now done this to *everyone* selling "non-essential" products on Amazon using Fulfilled by Amazon
We've seen this in the past, like when Amazon decided to kick all Mac refurbishers off the platform with little warning. These are people's livelihoods and they are destroyed instantly by one of the biggest companies in the world vice.com/en_us/article/…
to learn more about *WHY* Amazon is faltering right now, read this excellent piece from @LaurenKGurley from over the weekend. We have this wild situation where everyone is at home and thinks Amazon has infinite stock of everything but that is not the case vice.com/en_us/article/…
