Of course it's greed. That's the nature of capitalism: an attempt to put our greed to work for us.
Greed isn't something just corporations have. It's something we all have. There's no getting away from it. Capitalism tries to make it useful to all of us. While there are lots of examples of that idea failing overall it does work pretty well. Better than any other system we've devised so far.
I say let's celebrate greed as long as it stays within the law.
By the way, I'm a Prime subscriber and I have been since it began. I live in a small town not near any big town and I have no car. Amazon's Prime is a big money saver for me. And it makes money for Amazon. So that's at least one happy greedy corporation and one happy greedy customer.
