My take away is no because the same outlets that cover Amazon’s indiscretions also usually turn around and deliver Amazon Prime deal offerings that provide affiliate income. The negative reporting is balanced out by affiliate needs and the consumer’s want for a convenience they don’t really need (2-day shipping). Why do most people claim they need 2-day shopping? Because they didn’t have it before and they can have it. It has nothing to actually do with physical need.

Look at US electronics related news sites today for a plastering of these affiliate ads. Then instead of clicking the deal link, do a search for negative news about Amazon to seeing the ironic morals.
