Amazon to Shut Down Prime Now App and Move Two-Hour Deliveries into Main App

[haydn!]

How are they anti-competitive, you might ask? How about going decades without turning a profit? How about selling products below cost to put competitors out of business? Both those tactics are illegal. Bezos is a criminal...just like Gates.

It’s not illegal to sell a item for less than you paid for it. The concept of loss leaders to draw in business is retail 101. Neither is it illegal for a business to not make a profit... it’s just not very sustainable!

Their ultimate product is AWS which is incredibly popular.

Cool. That isn't the part of Amazon in charge of this Prime Now debacle or the selling side most people are familiar with.

I don't disagree but that wasn't my point. Amazon itself is highly successful but the fact these products aren't doesn't make that any less true. It actually makes it less relevant to them, which is why they can dump them so easily.

the company said it will fold its quick delivery options into the main Amazon app and website

This move makes sense.

I have used PN several times over the years and found it works well, even though it adds onto the total cost.
