I wonder how many people are leaving Amazon just because of their business practices. I’ve been kind of pissed because they’ve taken to spamming my inbox EVERY FRICKIN DAY! Sometimes twice a day. I don’t even bother to open and read the email anymore.
Lately I’ve been going to Amazon’s web-site just to screw with them. I look at a few things, at random, that I have no desire to actually purchase. Next day the spam I receive will have some kind of deal based on my browsing, and forever after that my inbox will be spammed.
If I had a salesman in a brick and mortar store, following me and taking notes about what I browsed, then every day called me to offer items for sale, I would likely never visit that store again. What makes Amazon think they are any different? Clearly, there is a small difference in that someone following me around taking notes might find themselves the recipient of an angry rebuke
