You make a good point, but I think the parent point is true as well. You still have people actually producing work, unable to compete on these platforms where Amazon will literally make a copy of their product at a lower price.

This is the result of commoditizing 'starting a business' to the point of near-worthlessness in the bottom 50%+. Like you say, I don't value the businesses that simply re-sell re-labeled products without ever interacting with anything very much. But let's not confuse the 'spam' of the problem with the squashing of actual business that this is historically known to cause.
