So there's a website:

https://killedbygoogle.com

that appears to list services formerly offered by Google,
and then deleted, updated within days.

What we need is coverage of Amazon, because Amazon is showing
increasing hostility to it's customers, we need a "killed by
amazon" website to reveal the products and services deleted by
amazon, as journalists avoid reporting Amazon downgrades that
are not announced in official press releases by Amazon:

In the last few months worldwide Amazon has deleted all
comments in all reviews, unannounced, so no possibility to
recover the deleted comments.

In the year 2020 Amazon deleted the possibility of finding
specific reviews for specific products, in books, movies, etc.,
so that now there can be thousands of reviews of different
products jumbled together (formerly if you clicked "see all
reviews" there was five columns with the fifth column being the
Format column which you would select and click the item of the
dropdown menu and then see the specific reviews. This is a
severe downgrade for reading user reviews of books, movies,
music, etc., and was unannounced.

Before this, was a deletion of all entries for books like The
Secret Relationship Between Blacks And Jews. There are
book-length polemics attacking the book, but not the book itself.
This Jewish motivated censorship was done before the New York
Times 1619 slavery project was announced, which also censors any
mention of the book. How many books formerly offered by Amazon
were banned? Dozens? Thousands? Since the list of books
banned by Amazon is secret, it is an unannounced deletion.

Before this, Amazon had forums that were more general than
individual product reviews but were linked in a general way
with categories of specific products. These were deleted,
but it was announced, so far as I know, so there was a chance
of recovering posts before they were deleted.

Sometime in the past Amazon quit including product names in
their order confirmation or shipping confirmation emails.
This along with the random seeming mixing of orders in shipping
causes so much confusion I only order one item at a time, so
as long as I have free shipping. Match order number in the
emails with the online order numbers to make sure to delete
the email of what I receive and keep emails of what I haven't
got yet. I don't suppose the Amazon policy of sending dumb
emails was announced, but know that that is the sort of thing
that would have been mentioned and discussed in the forum
topics, had it still existed at the time.

Before this, Amazon had a useful recommendation feature in
addition to clicking on lists of recommendations. At the top
of the page of a particular item, if it was recommended,
would note that that item was recommended, both that page and
in the lists of recommendations would have a button to click
that would show why it was recommended, and show the purchases
and browsed pages I read that led to the recommendation. Much
more entertaining and useful than the current secretive
method that has so many dumb responses, with nothing revealed
about what led to the recommendations.

All of these things I noticed by personal use of Amazon, as
a customer. How many other negative alterations of Amazon
are there that I didn't notice or didn't directly concern me
or I've forgotten? That's another reason we need a website
that lists the products and services formally on Amazon but were
later taken way. Hey, we need websites that are descriptively
critical of Amazon and other corporations, from a consumer
perspective, encouraging the public to read the articles, not
merely what we have, the tiny groups that make their posts
secret to the public, hosted by user-hostile platforms:
yahoo, facebook etc.
