  LOL I should have reread that one.

  The data is not centralized, but everyone is using the same aggravation service (indexer) to access the data.

  No. All of your direct interactions are with your instance which federates with others.

  Don’t trust him based on his prior comments

  I’m not a fan of Kagi’s founder, so I generally don’t use it.

  From Amazon:

  In 2023, FBA had been the preferred choice of 82% of Amazon sellers to deliver their products.

  They dictate the operations of their suppliers. They force large expansions in capital investment and then decide that they don’t want to renew the supplier relationship before the financing for the capital investments can be paid back. The only way suppliers can hope avoid this is to do what Walmart wants or constantly change their products in often superficial ways with branding agreements for IP of entertainment companies.

  Amazon doesn’t handle shipping for a lot of the things they sell.

  This is false. Very few products sold via Amazon are shipped independently from Amazon’s logistics services.

  no sketchy pricing based on bullwhip procurement.

  Walmart’s procurement has been abusive to their suppliers (who often go out of business because of their relationship with Walmart) for decades. I think you may need to reassess your perception of their procurement strategy.

  You don’t seem to understand the retail operations of Amazon. They provide logistics and marketing services to retailers, they also directly compete against those retailers because those retailers can’t do better at logistics and marketing without using Amazon’s services.

  I hope they start supporting people who want to run an indexer. Right now they just point to their source code and say, “if you can get this largely undocumented complex service running on your own, you can run a indexer, but don’t ask us for any help”.

  I’m not entirely confident that it will happen before their only funding source decides to cut off the cash flow.

  Discord and Reddit also had uniquely improved their UIs over the existing options.
