A 15% to 30% cut of all revenue punishes small businesses and makes many businesses infeasible, especially low margin businesses, as that 30% cut cuts into margins. Loss of competition hurts entire markets, including consumers.
the negative publicity regarding Evil Corp A is certainly a good thing, agreed. and like I said in another reply, I tend to try to support the smaller businesses _outside_ of the stores, knowing they would benefit that much more.
