@j0pewd It is a highly competitive world, and no one is obliged or dutybound to be fair to us or work in our interest. Ultimately, we must create our own path. While it is important for us to discuss, suggest, and collaborate to improve the ecosystem, we should also recognize the realities that not all people think and act alike.
I once knew someone who frequently ordered items on Amazon and returned them casually, almost as if browsing in a store. When I asked him to put himself in the seller's shoes and think how it feels, he rebutted saying why should he? He said he is the buyer and he is just making the best use of the provisions provided to him by the platform. If the seller finds it unviable, he can look for other alternatives. At the time, I disagreed with this view. However, over the years, I have come to understand that this is the environment we operate in.
We should acknowledge and appreciate those who treat us fairly, but we have no option other than ignoring those who do not. Instead, our energy is better spent adapting, innovating, and moving forward.
