Why does nobody talk about how much Amazon ads eat into your margins?

I was looking at my seller reports last night and found out Amazon takes almost 30% of my revenue just in ad costs and fees combined. That stat hit me hard because I found it buried in the 'advertising cost of sales' section of their dashboard. Has anyone else noticed this creep and found a way to get better ROAS without just raising prices?

Right, because who doesn't love paying 30% just for the privilege of selling stuff? I keep waiting for the "surprise, you owe us your firstborn" email from them.

No way, 30% in just ad costs alone? Thats insane, I thought the fees were bad enough but that's a whole other level of crazy.
