"Amazon shifted gears so that it now litters its storefront with pay-to-play advertisements. In addition to overcharging its customers, Amazon is degrading the services it provides them."
For a while I used amazon as a “product browser”, I would shop for what I want on there, and then go buy it straight from the manufacturer or whatever online marketplace the seller prefers.
Now, it has gotten so bad, it isn’t even useful for that. Amazon will show you 50 overpriced knockoffs of the thing you’d actually want to buy without ever showing you the real thing unless you already know the brand name of what you want ahead of time. The reviews are useless too now, everything has 4 1/2 stars and the same substanceless reviews.
Hard to shop for vitamins when you have sham accounts claiming it cured their cancer, when you’re just trying to take better care of yourself but don’t wanna fall for homeopathic scams.
