What? Why? Volume of revenue is not a reason to break up a company.

[oblio]

Conflict of interest. Making a platform and using it yourself naturally corrupts you, the incentives are too strong.

[Zetice]

What interest is conflicting, exactly? Seems like interests would be pretty perfectly aligned to maximize revenue.

[ClumsyPilot]

Yes, at the expwnse of their customers and the law.

Thats what conflict of onterest means

[Zetice]

That doesn’t make sense, because if their costumer isn’t satisfied, they can use another online store.

It could be if it makes up the entire market...

[Zetice]

Except it doesn't, not even remotely; there are dozens of other ways of buying things online, people just choose not to.

[freejazz]

Except the issue isn't whether there are "dozens of other ways of buying things online, people just choose not to" but whether Amazon's market share is so large as to prohibit anyone from being able to compete with it.

[Zetice]

That’s an obvious, “No”, as there are many competitors to Amazon…

[freejazz]

I'm not aware of any but okay, if you insist

[Zetice]

You're not aware of other online retailers?
