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.’

Yes, that's because they can't control their inventory because it's self-service. There's tremendous duplication. The median SKU has zero sales in the past 2 years, zero product recommendations, zero reviews, may not even have a product image on file, etc
I hear what you’re saying, but it’s extraordinarily unlikely that there aren’t a substantial number of unique or improved items when there is 7,100x the selection.

Looking at this was literally my day job. It's all junk (or old media products - read: books - no one wants to buy) past the first few million.

Sorry, maybe I’m misunderstanding - are you arguing that Amazon does not have increased selection over a traditional retail store and that this increased selection hasn’t changed the landscape for brands and consumers?
