There’s an advantage to buying on Amazon - they don’t hide and/or misfile the conservative books.

no they just de-list them

I had a Kindle book published years ago, so I stay informed.

Amazon does the following:

Shadow bans certain sub-genres, books, and/or authors: If you do not do an exact word search, it will not appear.

Removes book reviews by conservatives, individual or wholesale. (Joseph Farah had hundreds of his reviews removed.)

Ban certain conservative or libertarian authors.

I became aware of the shadow ban five (5) years ago - not of mine, but of other books/authors. I tested it: Certain books appeared not to be offered for sale, but if I did a sufficiently complete and exact search, it suddenly appeared along with the non-banned titles.

You may not have to deal with a disrespectful clerk in person, but you are being impersonally disrespected and disenfranchised nonetheless.

It is only getting much worse.
