That's what monopoly looks like, and the ones losing are always the customers.
I'm sorry for those who read a lot of authors that sell exclusively on Amazon platform. It really sucks, and, if you can, try and reach out to them explaining how they are losing readers when they lock themselves into exclusivity contracts with Amazon. I don't know how long those contracts are, but maybe they will think twice over signing again with them.
If they don't care about that, I'm not going to cry a river over authors who don't want me to read their stuff, though.
Thankfully, there is enough to read around.
