They have been continually and progressively hostile toward their sellers. They want total devotion and commitment, they want their sellers to swear off any and all other venues and pledge total loyalty to Amazon - AND they continually screw them as punishment for not doing so.

Kinda sounds like a cult to me. And yes, according to Louis Rossman, the FTC is preparing to go for the jugular against them.
