Critics who think Amazon is killing retail should talk to the millions of businesses/products that were rejected by retail gatekeepers and only exist today because of Amazon’s ‘infinite shelf space.’

Feaming seems odd. The "end of gatekeepers" is not evidence against the harm coming from the death of physical retail and the associated jobs; it's a mitigation, at best.
It’s a tradeoff. Consolidation in retailers, fragmentation in brands. But with this new shuffle, consumers are unequivocally better off. And antitrust laws (in the US) are designed to protect consumers, not incumbent businesses.

I get that, just thought framing was odd, as if suggesting that brick and mortar wasn't dying. Antitrust laws also aren't equipped right now, as detailed here: https://www.yalelawjournal.org/note/amazons-antitrust-paradox … (But I totally agree in broad strokes that ending gatekeepers is good)
