Amazon is known for its anti-competition practices. While they aggressively charge you for every sale you make, they also get to see all of your sales data; valuable information to have if you want to launch products. Even better if you plan on launching copycats! In more than one way, just by selling on their platform, they get you to pay them…to do their market research.

You're not representative of the Amazon customer base on your own. This is a long-known problem with Amazon.

That being said, this "article" is an advertisement for particl, which doesn't sit well with me.
