I'm eligible for an Amazon Business account!

Really? I've ordered less that $100 worth of product over the last year through Amazon. Things like shoe laces, so not something that I would have thought would trigger any algorithm to suspect I was a business client. Do they just blanket send these out to everybody? I just ignore them, so maybe they're trying to get me to sign up for a subscription of some kind? Very odd, IMO.

What's funny is that when a business does sign up for a business account, they put the business through the ringers.

That's the scam of "big data". They want you to believe they have a big, complex, "smart" algorithms to identify you as a candidate...but in reality you're not. Just like if you buy a hat, suddenly all you're seeing are hat ads. Amazon's "big data algo" has told their advertizers you buy hats.

Er... Based on my experience, cats' smugness settings are always screwed down tight on maximum, and cannot be increased. Your statement is therefore a non sequitur.

I never order business anymore (even for my business). Things are usually more expensive for businesses (because we can get out tax back) and business have less legal protection than individuals. I recently ordered a monitor which had a cracked screen on arrival. For some reason I had to pay for the shipping back because I was a business client. At the end of the day I was €25 lighter and had nothing to show for it. It's crazy.

Who overtook Amazon? Did Wal-Mart do something I didn't hear of?
Everyone knew they were evil. I do buy things online but not much
