    Yes. I’m quite tired of hearing “it’s not our fault that toys full of lead were sold on our storefront and stored, fulfilled, and shipped from our warehouse in boxes bearing our logo! When we said that we ‘recommend’ the product, we meant, like, algorithmically, not for realsies. We had nothing to do with these products! It’s all XGZDoo, a company we kicked off the store. And now would you like to buy any products from XGZDee, our latest new seller?”.

      Pretending to be just a middle man does help these marketplaces, delivery and taxi apps. Wonder if they could be as profitable if they couldn’t make these claims. It seems being in a legal gray zone is their business model and iirc Amazon’s delivery is subcontracted to third parties on a paper too.
