Amazon Criticized for Misleading Tactics and Allowing Unethical Practices on Its Platform
- Amazon Prime Video often misleads by labeling movies as "free" when they actually require a paid subscription to access
- This diminishes the value of "Prime" and is an example of Amazon's "enshittification" - making the platform worse for users and partners
- Amazon allows rampant copyright infringement and plagiarism on its platform with little accountability
- Third-party sellers use misleading tactics like inflating prices of non-rare books to take advantage of customers
- Amazon profits from unethical practices on its platform and has no incentive to fix them
