Why does everyone and their mother want to emulate Amazon?

Because money

Who doesnt want to be a strong powerful woman warrior ? Sure, Lucy Lawless is responsible somehow.

Are we criticizing an attempt at having some sort of competition?

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

The problem is they are all poor emulations. Amazon already has problems and these new "marketplace" don't address any of them. I haven't seen one be better than Amazon in any way. At least Wish, Temu, and AliExpress have a wide variety of stuff at cheaper prices. Even if everything else about them is crap.
