• ‘Free Speech’s programs already informed me of this, & as a struggling inventor this is sneaky bad behavior, because putting these products-owners of the companies that make-sell the products would result in trapping them into having to follow Amazon illegal anti-compete practices, outside of Amazon market place.

    On my site I have long since routed requests from Amazon associated IP blocks directly to the wood chipper, so it’s nice to see that I was vindicated in doing so. Their request patterns did indeed look pretty scrapey and I was wondering why.

    Why would a retailer turn down an additional resource that drives customers to their site?

    Amazon also rolled out a “Buy for Me” feature last year that surfaces products from other brands’ websites and lets shoppers complete purchases without leaving the Amazon app.

    Ah, that’s why.

      It’s like the skievier part of DoorDash listings, where they’d list restaurants that weren’t on the platform, make deliveries for them and send angry customers to them when DoorDash fucked it up.
