In general, no. Amazon has done a great job of monopolizing the market, and offer low prices and deals to people who want or need it. However, it has done so at a toll that is not reflective of consumer practices, but company policies and values. The only thing I'd blame consumers for is overconsumption - an action that is directly in our own hands. People who can "only afford amazons prices," and similar are not those people. And still, I'd not call anyone bad people for buying from amazon, esp. People who do not know better or don't have the resources. Researching is hard, and generally, sustainable options needs to be more easily accessible. If you deliberately choose to continue to overconsume, then I'd start dubting your character.
