I just found out that our stuff is being sold on Amazon - WITHOUT our consent or any ability to opt out bc Amazon is just scraping artist’s websites and putting our shit in their search results. Again, without our permission.

I haven’t seen any non shopify users yet and Amazon/shopify had a deal for the past several years. This is disgusting but shopify has questions to answer to as well

fyi they tried to scrape one of my products from my BigCartel shop so they are definitely trying to hit other platforms. But it didn't have the image and wasn't purchasable, only the title and details and my shop name. I contacted both Amazon and BigCartel about it.

My theory is Amazon is trying to become the “Google of buying shit” and scraping and indexing databases of ecommerce sites.

Love this drop during information blackout week

Yeah. I wonder if they’re scraping AWS databases, which is why Shopify and BigCartel items are showing up.
