IMO it's not really reasonable to blame the consumer for the shitification of Amazon. The only things that could have stopped this would have been more rigorous regulatory action against Amazon's mergers and anticompetitive practices years ago.

Successful businesses tend towards monopoly and once they're close to that position it's almost impossible for individual consumers to do anything about it.
