Well they've successfully boxed out the little guy so your options are less than limited. Tell your sons and daughters that your family is going to grow their own food and are forbidden from watching netflix with their friends, that have anything they want dropped off on their door step while your children work like peasants. They will turn against you faster than you can say "nickelodeon is run by pedophiles". You'll be the conservative lunatic they laugh about with their friends while they're dying their hair pink and wearing a bone in their nose. Everyone said don't comply with masks, even when they would throw you out of the store for not wearing one, but then you have to order from home from Amazon or instacart which is run by the same swamp creatures..... just tell your kids to starve I guess.
TL;DR: Amazon is a monopoly as people do not want to risk dealing with mail order fraud and credit card theft when finding alternatives/trying to order direct.
As for the other things regarding media you mentioned, the reason people refuse to resort to piracy as an alternative is because malware.

This. With this Covid shit they’ve taken away the mom & pop alternatives. I guess just make it yourself then?
The problem with that is that people struggle to find things on store shelves, and mail order is still the best way to buy high end things.
