Much like how most American don’t barter anymore for little things so they’re easy pickings at a car dealership. Or if everybody quits drinking alcohol, you’ll know less people who’ve had liver failure, causing next generation to not know the risks, etc
I liken it to online shopping. Online shopping today is much more trustworthy than 15 years ago. Improvements in technology and more name brand companies using the internet has led to an increase in trust levels for shopping today versus in the early 2000's. This does make us more likely to be scammed, but the fact that it is now harder to scam someone online has (I would assume) decreased the percentage of people making fraudulent purchases.
I'm not sure this is the case. I find it harder to avoid scams these days because some of the sites I used to trust went out of business because they couldn't compete with Amazon. But now Amazon is full of nearly impossible to spot fakes and sellers who flat out lie, and their system makes it hard to track who is who.
I did not know that. Thank you for sharing. What are other (non-Amazon) options?
