Why do so many tech companies, like Reddit and Twitter are making their platforms worse for their users all of a sudden? (lemmy.world)

Right before the pandemic I was trying to not use Amazon anymore (I said f it during the pandemic because it was so hard to get ANYTHING for the first six months, but I need to go back to it). There was some random thing I wanted to buy, so I hunted down the manufacturer's website and ordered it from them directly.

The thing still arrived in an Amazon envelope from an Amazon fulfillment center in an Amazon delivery van, because the small manufacturer was using fulfilled-by-Amazon for all their logistics, even for stuff sold on their own website. So apparently I can't even stop using Amazon if I want to!
