#2They've clearly spent the last 10 years spending like crazy, in a frantic (and successful) effort to diversify their offerings.
Yes, they'll first and foremost be "internet walmart", but only a fool would think that the insane growth was unstoppable - Jeff Bezos is many things but he's not an idiot.

they finally stagnated. the site is still as unusable as when I first used it.
Search and categories are complete garbage.
The listings that breakdown price (e.g. $/unit or $/Gb or $/ounce) are a inconsistent mess in the same search result, sometimes showing different units for the same product from two sellers!
and I still have no idea if a listing will be OK or from a seller worse thab ebay.

#6Hopefully such a signal doesn't turn the market bearish. There's enough economists saying that we're overdue for a correction and I hope for them to be wrong.

#7isn't there an upside? feels like a return to bricks-and-mortar competition is good, not bad. well.. depends if you own amazon shares or not. Im a non-direct shareholder, my pension fund might have a consequence but I'd expect it to be both sides of this anyway.
totally feels like an upside to me.

I can live with the unpleasant UX as far as that goes, but where it implodes for me is having to sift through endless fake reviews, counterfeits, and shit products. “Amazon’s Choice” is frequently garbage, and everything else is a coin flip at best. I have to use Fakespot just to sift through the more obvious dreck.
Of course it’s AWS printing their money, not retail.

It’s really quite surreal. Unless it’s a highly commoditized item, I don’t bother with Amazon anymore.

What do you use instead? I'd love to be able to ditch amazon for most purchases.
