      Well look this is one of those pieces where I actually agree with the point and I've seen people bring it up a ton before ("Wait so it's just okay in the movie that he drove her out of business? That's fucked up") but this piece attracts dunks for being so damn serious about it https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1319066902174552064 …

      The Onion made this point a lot better by making it obliquely several years ago With a fake preview of You've Got Mail 2, about how the bookstore chain Tom Hanks works for is about to be driven out of business by Amazon, whose CEO Jeff Bezos has no interest in dating him

      And Borders, depending on region, but the people running that company made So Many Shitty business decisions that it’s demise was inevitable. Amazon was just an accelerant.

      See that's the thing Even if you agree with this movie's POV that Barnes and Nobles isn't that bad and it's great to have a Starbucks in the bookstore and everything, it wasn't gonna last Their business model was fucked, their killing small businesses was a murder/suicide

          Like all the native plant life on an island being killed off by an invasive weed only for the weed to itself then get killed off by a blight because it's a vulnerable monoculture

          Giant brick and mortar chains like that just took all the square footage in America being used to sell books (or toys or whatever) and made it into one big fat combined target for asset stripping by hedge funds
