Cancel your Prime subscription and support smaller retailers that aren’t subsidized by a giant money-printing cloud computing business.

Sometimes paying more is OK.
I usually most find stuff listed on Amazon 10-30% cheaper elsewhere now. Just takes the slightest effort. Amazon thinks they can keep their prices jacked because they think people are still too lazy to do a minimal search, and to some extent they are right, but for how long? The other big issue with Amazon, is that so much of their stuff is counterfeit, even high end European motor oil and filters! I'll only buy critical items like that directly, or from a major auto store or Walmart now. My Amazon purchases have trickled to almost zero. Haven't canceled Prime yet, but might soon.

Wonder how many small retailers using Amazon, Etsy and eBay market places to make their income will agree with you. Clearly you must just be a an employee.
You mean the small businesses that are forbidden by Amazon from offering goods on their own sites at a lower cost than they sell for on Amazon ('https://www.reuters.com/legal/california-files-lawsuit-against-amazoncom-allegedly-blocking-price-competition-2022-09-14/')?
