People are going to hate on me, but web3 makes this absolutely trivial to build. If you try to build this as another centralized service, you just end up in the same place but a new dominant owner.
Don't get me wrong, there IS a wrong way to build this in web3 where it's just a web2 service on-chain. But designed correctly, it can avoid the pitfall.

So good to hear. Put differently: are you insane?
ps. I built the original Amazon. On top of that, I have a brother who builds web-stuff related to decentralized coordinated activities and has done for many years. I didn't check in with him, but I'm pretty sure that we both think that you're insane.
lol, do you end every technical argument with "I'm Paul Davis, don't even try to debate me!"
I try not to. But when someone claims that building a platform for distributed, cooperative, coordinated action is "trivial", and it's in the context of "I'm building an open source Amazon", it is a little hard not to fail at this goal.
