It's not a contradiction because the way Gabe runs his business is good.

It.... Very much is. He runs a business that doesn't make people piss in bottles. Great, but that's a low bar.

He runs a business that looks after customers, that's great but Amazon does that too so I consider it a cost of doing the billions in trade that he does and a cost of effective monopoly maintenance. If they weren't pro consumer folks might actually leave.

He pays his employees better than others, great, but he's sitting on 9 billion in wealth so let's not pretend he couldn't pay them more or squeeze small developers less than 30% (and he's probably squeezing them more than big houses).

You can't have that much money and be ethical. You can be less shitty than other billionaires but again that's a low, low bar.

This is news to me

Amazon customer service has been "good." Any time theres an issue they just ship a new one and tell you to keep the old one. I know lots of people who speak extremely highly of them, do you think they got so big treating their paying customers like shit?
