Depends on where you live. Here in Germany we have a few alternatives, like “Otto” and a few others with specialisations like electronics. Some of them have a marketplace just like Amazon and they even offer the same cheap chinese crap that Amazon has to offer. So you could feel right at home.
Yes. Twenty years ago. Now take a look at what Nintendo and Microsoft have been doing just within the past couple of years (as well as what they were doing twenty years ago and beyond, since they both have long track records of shitty behaviour.)
Yes, Sony is not a good company, but we’re comparing them to Nintendo and Microsoft here.
Not a complete list, but
Little choice?
Amazon - the logistics company - is just a front end for (and leech on) various drop shippers, lately, anyway.
Amazon used to carry quality guarantees, and have meaningful reviews, but lately the wild West crapshoot of the rest of the web is just as good.
Aren’t drop shippers finished with the recent tariffs, especially closing the loophole of de minimis?
Tbh I just duckduckgo the company and product if I find it in Amazon and order directly
I’ve heard good things about lineage OS for android and maybe apple phones but I haven’t got around to using it
Amazon is barely a thing here in Sweden. It’s niche drop shipped garbage for the most part, very similar to Wish and the like.
They have some non-garbage stuff at the same price you find elsewhere.

Can use a website like idealo to search multiple stores at once. I just wish they had a filter to block amazon results.
The game console, made by Sony, who famously keeps trying to fuck everyone else over?
All game console companies famously keep trying to fuck everyone else over. Sony actually comes off fairly well compared to Nintendo and Microsoft.
Sony shipped literal rootkits with their software years ago.
Jeez, guys… You’re a paleontologist or what? That happened centuries ago.

True. Nintendo is extremely cutthroat with their IP, they like going after emulators and similar.
Which is nowhere comparable to infecting your stuff with malware…
All the alternative businesses to Amazon suck. And also probably advertise on Amazon as drop shippers anyway.
