      That's called predatory pricing, but it's difficult to find real examples of it. There's no guarantee of success with such a tactic, after all. You're guaranteed to lose money early on, and there's no reason to expect success after putting some other company out of business, because you can't prevent others from entering the market.

      I mean, prismacolor should be fine. They’re geared towards artists; a 3rd grader or someone who likes coloring books isn’t gonna be putting 50$ in the drain when there’s already cheaper stuff. And the artists who use prismas are most likely gonna stay with prismas (people who can’t afford it aren’t using them anyway)
      The amazon brand of pencils will mostly be bought by hobbyists and artists who don’t have enough for prismas, so as far as I can tell they’ll be okay. Really gotta work on their quality control tho

      Amazon did their version of the cult classic dill mustard sauce sold by the Larrupin Grill in Humboldt County, CA. That's one of the few fine dining restaurants in the county, and salmon is a big thing in the Pacific Northwest, so the restaurant owners adapted an old family recipe for Swedish dill mustard sauce to serve with their salmon. People wanted to buy the sauce, so they started bottling it, and you could get it on sandwiches, bagels, etc. as a regional specialty. WinCo is a regional employee-owned grocery store and I used to get it for $4 for a 10-oz jar. The restaurant, or their sauce bottler, also sold it online... for $13/jar.
      I guess enough people searched online for "Larrupin dill mustard sauce" that Amazon decided it was worth stealing the recipe or buying them out. For a while, you couldn't get Larrupin Sauce (it was IN THE NEWS up there!) and the family gave some kind of vague excuse about supply issues or something. Now I wonder if this was connected to the sudden appearance of Amazon Happy Belly Dill Mustard Sauce (for about $9/jar, same size/shape as the OG stuff)?

  • @yuzu-tsuyu

    Having people very close to me who worked for amazon for a lengthy period of time, they spoke of this extensively... literally all the amazon products (not always named amazon basics) are 100% sourced from pre-existing supply chains. They may direct them to cut costs (use a cheaper pigment option, cheaper wood, poly blend instead of cotton, etc.) but otherwise it is often made in the exact same factory/a factory owned by the same people, with the exact same materials/same material supply chain, before being packaged differently. So yes, the problem with this is what you pointed out... basically a cannibalization of every possible industry in order to control the supply. It costs money to hire product developers, packaging designers, product testing, etc. and they pass the savings that came from ripping off the design/formulation of a company's final product on to... well a little to you (just enough to get you to buy it, and not a penny more) but the rest to bezos.
    I'd pass on these--if for no other reason than feeling like part of my soul was dying having to look at 'amazon' on an art supply while I was using it... There is also the very legitimate fear that as he crushes existing companies and narrows down your options, that product innovation dies and they can then degrade the quality of the products they're offering once you're stuck with no other options. Which is scary and... gives me that uncomfortable feeling you mentioned... :')

      Pertaining to Alexis’ comment:: I had no idea this was going on. I guess I haven’t bought anything with the Amazon logo on it. I certainly have, however, bought things with the Great Value Wal Mart logo. Specifically, groceries. I had heard that these products are often produced in the same factories as the name brand product, thereby making it a more economical choice, while getting the same quality. In fact, you often see the products side by side on the shelf. I had no idea that the ultimate goal was to squeeze out the competition. But it makes sense. Perhaps I will think twice now, as my budget allows. Thank you to both of you for the insight.

It's okay if you're nothing in "the big picture", even if your art sucks, it's about what makes you happy (though I question if trying to leave mean comments is really making you happy.)
      In the unlikely event that someone is sincerely concerned about my "sources" (even though this is readily information available online and literal factory workers probably know this best of all), direct family member who was a level 7 and had meetings with our bald overlord himself regularly, and another direct family member who did factory compliance checks overseas. This is really hard because factory owners will go to great lengths to hide horrible conditions and make everything look above board, even if the goods are actually being produced at another location entirely. But regardless, internally Amazon is *proud* of this sort of thing. People working there either drink the koolaid or pretend to, but either way they think of cannibalizing other companies as an accomplishment.

      There's certainly a need to value your supplies through the whole chain. Finding companies who specialize in the supplies makes it more likely that there will be a broader range of products (color ranges, textural differences, etc.) and allows the companies to support employees who are specialized in curating those supplies not to mention ethically supplying them. Cheaper is just cheaper and that's basically it. It's not surprising that Amazon could replicate some of the quality of the actual product but there are shortcuts behind the scenes to make that happen.

    • @multimanjazzman8203
      @multimanjazzman8203 Před 3 lety +89

      One thing with companies like Amazon, they make cheaper knock-offs with okay quality because they already have the capital to produce, theyre just doing it to battle companies or brands that specializes on that specific product. Cuz theyre cheaper, consumers would go buy them and through time, sales and demand for other brands will go downhill and here comes Amazon to “rescue” them by buyin* their brand. Amazon has the upper hand since they’re Amazon.

    I appreciate your work on comparing these art supplies and I respect your opinion... HOWEVER, something in my gut just won't let me give Bezos any more money than I already do. I already buy most of my stuff from Amazon and Dick Blick's Art Supply, but I buy brands that are sooo not Amazon brands. It is unfortunate that Amazon has become so big because as you have said, it has pushed smaller companies out of business as with the diaper people! The free shipping that Amazon offers really makes a huge difference in most cases. Of course, don't forget that shipping costs are added in to the basic cost of the products in the case of heavy things like gallon jugs of alcohol or big glue bottles, etc. Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth!

    I love your videos, I'm a young teen and im really into art and your videos inspire me to create more art and learn realism. Another thing, I thought I was bad at coloring until you mentioned prisma colors were your favorite colored pencils and I got some for myself and I absolutely love them!! Thank you for your videos, to you its what you do but it helps me alot inspiration wise and I use some of the supplies you recommend!

      Biden also wants to basically abolish your right to carry a firearm. He wants 💯 of all fire arms to be smart guns.
      Now look up what those are on CZcams. And see how they can be hacked.
      Bruh, I'm not and would never vote for sleepy Joe.
      He also wants to start a registry and a buy back of semi auto "assault weapons" i.e ar-15. The most popular. 223/.556 on the market. That's not a weapon of war. It's a rifle. And, no the second amendment isn't for hunters, " the right of the people, to keep and bare arms; shall not be infringed."
      Just look at his web site. They also want to make all cars electric, but it power grid is over a century old. Europe went renewable and their electric prices rose by over 50%.
      Go and look. I'd you want lower prices you would know thorium reacters have no chain melt down, should they melt down salt water takes and nutralizes that. Also on youtube.
      You can thank Nixon that peice of shit for not having them.
      The new green deal is just insanity.
      Until there is a solution to power (THORIUM REACTORS) then all they do is lie to you.
      I don't disagree that amazon should pay taxes. And that they are greedy and fucking crooked.
      But, I would never vote Democrat for people who want almost 40% of my income should I become a millionaire. Just look at commiefornia. My God man.
      70% of all millionaires are first generation they earned that money.
      No! I want less taxes less GOVERMENT, and electric prices so low we can find other crap like preservation of land and animals.
      You can't save the world by taxing people put of existing.
      Federal tax
      State tax
      Local tax
      Income tax
      Sales tax
      Death tax
      Retirement withdrawal tax
      Inheritance tax
      Sin tax
      Cig tax
      Weed tax
      Should I go on?
      If a LIBERTARIAN would run and balance our budget and not be a career thief from the Senate Is vote for them.
      Then I wouldn't have to over pay for thier governments incompetence. I pay 12% of my wages which is a stagnated 32k a year at a shitty job which takes my income fr 36k to 32.
      How is 3 grand a year fair when I don't even get an interest payment from what they borrowed?
