Amazon regularly beats out the brick and mortar stores in my country who reamed us for decades before we got access to the global market.

minus-squareDeceptichum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·11 months agoIt’ll be exactly the same as it was before than, the maximum people could pay before it affected sales.

minus-squareDeceptichum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·11 months agoPretty much everything was a duopoly and as the market was so small they just grew to mutually exist without need to compete. Shit most of them are all owned by the same parent companies now.

minus-squareDeceptichum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·11 months agoMy point is that is isn’t any better or worse when there isn’t competition. You’re still a captive market being charged the highest costs possible.
