ITT: "I agree they're systematically fucking us over (and don't get me started on their horrible politics!) but will continue to enable them because it's convenient and saves me a few bucks" this defense doesn't make you look reasonable it makes you look like a clown
The thing is, it doesn't save money to shop there, either. 90% of what you see is Amazon Marketplace, where you're just paying people to dropship you trash from Aliexpress

This matches every account I've heard from friends in Seattle that have worked for the HQ.
Precisely where I was.
I was the third finance director for that division in two years, which is a terrible sign.
When interviewing, always ask about those who last filled the position and for how long.

Prices mysteriously go up about a week before prime day sales, then drop to a few dollars below normal, scream “39% off” and you feel like you beat the system.

Gladly this practice is illegal in Finland at lest. Here companies having sales have to show the lowest price of that product within the last 30 days just for this very reason.

Owned by Amazon, FYI.
I can't seem to find evidence of that. All I see is they're Amazon affiliates, which pretty much anybody can be.
Do you have a source?

What's the source for this? Can't seem to find details about this online.

Amazon’s now-legendary “Prime Day” is July 8-11. Much like Black Friday or Cyber Monday, this means sales on lots of items on Amazon’s vast marketplace, and as such many people flock to the giant’s website to get sweet deals on everything from computers to small kitchen appliances and more. While many of us are feeling the financial crunch more than ever, I urge you, dear reader, to resist the allure. I don’t typically have strong opinions about where people chose to shop or how they decide to spend their heard-earned money, but in this post I hope to lay out a convincing case for why Amazon is full-stop evil, no caveats, and is undeserving of your money on a moral and ethical level no matter what your values are. Amazon needs to be stopped, and legislation will not do so. Only its loyal consumers – who keep the beast alive – can do that by taking their money elsewhere. No matter your political or personal beliefs, I'm certain Amazon violates them in one way or another, and you should vote with your dollar by buying from other places whenever possible. Here’s why.
Amazon is already dead to us. Just like Tesla, Target, Starbucks, and Meta.
They will never be purchased from, or supported in any way- ever again.

I've never felt like a valued customer
I only have once, and it's made all the other ones seem so much worse by comparison.
Thank you Ace Hardware. You fucking ruined me.
That's because Ace Hardware is franchised. It's essentially a bunch of small businesses that use the same branding.

Oh no way
It's not.

Shut up! If you don't use Amazon how will the rich people go to space?

How does Temu compare to Crapazon?
