The idea that fickle consumers are to blame for unethical and often unlawful exploitation of employees is propaganda with only the thinnest veneer of economics painted on it.

I suppose I understand why the very rich and business interests make arguments like this, but usually it's just ordinary people. Who benefits? It's about time we held companies like Amazon accountable for the way they harm and exploit their employees instead of helping shift the blame to their customers.
