> What do you find surprising about consumers preferring to buy something from Amazon rather than their local mom and pop store?

The website. It’s been absolute shit for years. It’s full of knockoffs and scams. I can hardly find the things I want, there’s dark patterns, they actively compete with sellers on their platform… I honestly think they get away with it because mom and pop are out of business. I’d go back if I could.

That tells that you believe there is room for mom and pop to return, which questions why you aren't becoming the mom and pop?

I have a job that I like and I am risk averse.

There is no risk if you truly believe in what you say. There is also no reason why you need to give up your job for such a venture.

So, I guess we're back to questioning why you think people would choose Bezos over you.
