| I think soon, we're going to have to (sadly) get legislative for things such as this. This path has been taken in some jurisdictions, for things like deleting customer data, accounts and more. But it has been proven again and again, that offering paid services with zero customer support, is seen as a plus for many corps. I presume the logic is, support costs big, better to lose a small percentage of clients, than support them all fully and reasonably. Some cite Chinese sellers, fraud as the problem. No, that's not the problem, the problem is not dealing with cost, and this issue, in a reasonable way. We have centuries of common law, and legislative backing which essentially states that consumers, clients, businesses must behave in a certain way with one another. Amazon is trying to game the system, by ignoring these covenants, and creating process and conditions which purposefully denigrate these concepts. So glad someone found a way to mess up their perfect little plan to keep consumers, and clients out of court. Consumer rights are not something to be optimized, mitigated, reduced. More thoughts ; we've been through this forever. Think of all the lemon laws for car dealers , manufacturers, as a result of just plain scummy behaviour. It's all the same thing. Act scummy, and we'll make you stop. |
