Frustrating, but I appreciate your answer; thank you.

Why is "(most favored nation status)" in parentheses?

I have often wondered whether targeted internet boycott days would shake up AWS, but I don't know enough about their billing structure to run the numbers to see how much that would dig into AWS profits + how much of their income is flat subscription fees vs. billing on number of calls and haven't had a chance to dig into it yet.

The other commenters here are right about Amazon's initial methods, but I'm also going to highly recommend Cory Doctorow's Enshittification for a detailed explanation of how this happens (including a breakdown on Amazon specifically) and what to do about it.

Congratulations!
