I'm often disappointed by amazon's search results and find it more reliable to use an external search engine to find what I'm looking for. Better deals and more options to choose from.

This is no different from scraping images (DALL-E), code (GitHub co-pilot), text (ChatGPT), facebook (Cambridge Analytica), news, etc. This is all content that requires licensing and protections to access. A lot of this has been happening for some time, but with the recent leaps in capabilities and productizing, it is now front and centre. This will definitely backfire. Also, not good timing for google with the recent attention for moving to bing. Honestly, why do we still require a massive indexer like google? Just like HTML5 standard killed flash, we need a metadata standard for search and create some type hierarchical distributed search across the internet.

I don't trust buying virtual media from anyone. TV provider, playstation/xbox/nintendo, prime video, etc. rental is fine as the usage expectation is clear.

*the* reason I still purchase media with a digital copy. Convenient with the potential for loss.

A really simple idea to get spammed.
