Did Amazon Throttle My Sales After I Criticized Them in the New York Times? | Literary Hub

In the online version of the article you can click on the title of my zine; the link takes you to the zine's Amazon page. I've often spoken about how in-article links enable Amazon's monopoly in online bookselling. [1] Still, just for fun, I clicked on the link to my zine's Amazon page. I always enjoy the irony of seeing it up there. But this time I noticed something different: Amazon had stopped offering the zine for direct sale. Often on Amazon it can be hard to tell whether you're buying from Amazon directly or whether you're buying from a third-party seller. You're know you're buying direct if you see the phrase "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com." That phrase was now erased from my zine's page.
