Darwinism at Your Doorstep: Why You Only Care About Amazon Now (techcrunch.com)

There are several good points in this article and while it's a bit longer than usual blog post it's worth reading.

However my grim prediction is that ultimately not many people will vote with their wallets for a change in Amazon's culture, especially in case of warehouses staff.

It's one thing to show some outrage in social media when you learn that white-collar workers ( you can easily relate to) are working in toxic culture. It's completely different thing to abandon low prices and convenience, because some people you never see or meet are working in horrible conditions.
