    Unfortunately whilst e-commerce is their main revenue earner, Amazon Web Services (AWS) that the e-commerce platform is built rakes in a good ~20% of their revenue. So not only do you have to convince enough people worldwide to stop buying on Amazon you also have to convince large corporations who use AWS cloud to move away as well.

    It’s like trying to organise people to stop using Google search. It’s nearly impossible, but an admirable goal.

      True. And AWS is so far ahead of the competition when it comes to reliability and scope of services offered. It’s kind of insane.
