      Yeah, was way back when they first went public. Everyone said they were crazy, but Bezos made a point at the time about how it was better for the customer, so they could try and get a more balanced view before purchasing.

      In fairness, that was when they were only selling books, so the onus for crap content was on the authors - not Amazon. Bit different now that they’re a marketplace with all manner of third party sellers and cheap shit being sold on there, and them taking a slice from everything.
