All data is from here. So when Amazon says "we're only 4-5% of total retail sales" it's technically true, but it grossly underestimates their market share and power, as everyone intuitively understands from their behavior and ubiquity. https://www.census.gov/retail/mrts/www/benchmark/2018/html/annrev18.html …

How are video games and SaS categorized? Streaming services are in the same category? I’ve spent more every year on SaS subscriptions, apps, and in-app purchases.
