What the Eff??!
Jun. 27th, 2014 05:22 pmAmazon continues to suck. Big time.
There was a time when I used to buy most of my books (and lots of other stuff) on Amazon. I mean, it’s easy, comfortable and convenient. I think my first account to buy stuff online was Amazon.
Then there was #amazonfail, remember?
Then I heard more and more about how Amazon more or less monopolising/controlling/destroying the market. And how workers were treated. And how Amazon avoids paying taxes.
And that annoyed me, really. And I stopped buying stuff there, because convenient is no excuse for supporting that kind of fuckery.
So, it’s not like I had a high opinion of Amazon, right?
Yet still they continue to surprise me.
So, basically blackmailing publishers? Way to go. Asshats.
Yes, I am aware of the fact that there are other possibilities to buy books.
I know, it’s the market and all that crap. Nya.
