That's a great take that others miss. Marketing is 100X harder than setting up a platform.

Devil's advocate: go make a listing on Amazon for a product that already has other competitors selling. How are you going to "market" yours to the top?

The answer is to pay even more money to Amazon to place yourself as a "sponsored" listing that goes right to the top of search results. Partly why Amazon is rapidly becoming a dumpster fire of an e-shop. It looks more like the search results page on Google these days.

Exactly why having a simple to set up platform is valuable. It allows you to focus on the things that create the product or visibility of the product.
