Will amazon fail?

Someone on here made a valid argument saying Amazon will fail
Full of chinese made products and reviews made by bots.
Same poster claims brick and mortar will come back

Personally I don't see it happening, amazon is just to convenient. Buy something you need get it in a day.

Likely not. I know I have turned away from Amazon for the very reason (chinese bull**** products, sending me "new" electronics that were clearly used & returned) and it makes me go for other sellers on the internet. So I'm sure their growth may level off eventually, but I doubt they will fail any time soon.

Amazons hold is too deep, brick and mortar is dead. A whole new gen is being raised on the convenience , if anything it will expand and be more streamlined.

Only way it fails is if google gets hostile and throttles results in a hope to acquire it for cheap. Thanks to the new democratic party of "we worship big business," some day in our lifetime american democracy will be overthrown by some big tech company, it is just a question of who.

So ya, no way it fails unless it dies in the final fight at the end for world dominance.

Brick and mortar May come back but it would have to be with the help of better designed cities and communities. Amazons got so much money they can do anything they want at this point though

Buy something you need and get it in a day isn't more convenient than buying something you need and getting it that same day. Products sold on amazon are complete garbage, they are all made in china and the reviews are fake. The reviews dont even regard the product they are supposedly reviewing.
