> In, say, 20 years will some meaningful percentage of all the money I spend somehow funnel through amazon?

Amazon already has 5% of the total retail market in the US. I consider that a meaningful percentage.

More anecdotally, one of the discord servers I'm in recently had a trend where people shared their total yearly spend on Amazon. Upwards of $10-20k were not uncommon. (The data source is definitely biased though, as it's more of a hobby-related discord == upper middle class segment).



How are they getting their yearly spend? I would be interested in my yearly spend (over the years) and to see how it's grown/shrunk.
