Here we have the very last person on Earth to realize Amazon doesn't have their best interests at heart.
> "...Am I being tricked...?"
YES!!!
I don't expect amazon to have my best interests at heart. To the contrary, this entire post is about how their actions dont have their best interests at heart. When I pause a purchase because of this crap, I might not ever return to pick it up.
I never expect a faceless company to care about me. I do expect that when I willingly align my interests with theirs, things should get easier.
