Amazon — Market. Power! Monopoly? Documentary Debuts On X

Founder and CEO of educational toy company Viahart, Molson Hart, announces debut of Amazon — Market. Power! Monopoly? documentary on Twitter/X December 17.

Tomorrow at 1 PM, I am releasing a documentary about Amazon, here on X.

The documentary shows how Amazon uses its size and power to raise prices.

If you shop online, whether its on Amazon or elsewhere, this affects you.

So please, watch, and share the documentary.

And if you're an Amazon seller, and you're tired of your products being suspended by Amazon because they were cheaper somewhere else, please do what you can to get the word out. We are all sick and tired of Amazon's pricing policies.

About the making of this documentary:

It is difficult to get critical documentaries made about Amazon.

First, sellers must sign a contract wherein they promise not make public statements about Amazon.

Second, Amazon itself is one of the largest purchasers of film media with Prime Video.

It's hard to make a documentary when participants fear that it could end their business or career with one of the most powerful companies in the world.

I am taking that risk because I believe that what Amazon is doing is wrong.

It is my hope that this documentary's release pushes Amazon to end the policy which raises prices for consumers and drives its sellers mad.

I did not have any editorial direction for this film. I acquired the rights and I'm putting it out there for the world to see.

I hope you like it.
