I’m reposting the stuff I made on Reddit.
To a better, Redditless future!

        God I haven’t used amazon in years. And even then i used it mainly to find something or get an idea. I was looking for a fun gift for my nephew and it’s absolutely disgusting. FUN KID TOY, HD 4K RACE CAR NEW ITEM FORTNITE MINECRAFT.
        That’s most descriptions and the ratings are beyond useless.

          Yup, all 1, 4 and 5 star ratings are basically useless. They are either bought by competitors to lower their rating or bought by themselves to raise the rating. I’ve seen documentary about this stuff. There are groups on Facebook and Telegram (that’s a massenger like WhatsApp) where you get product XY for free (mostly trash from aliexpress/Alibaba) for a 5 star rating.

      Not really, depends where you live. I also know many things are factored in Amazon pricing, like shipping, It’s just a joke.

    Amazon is a lot cheaper than most big box stores by me. And it’s also frustrating because big box stores often don’t have the specific item I’m looking for. Amazon is reasonably priced and has everything.

      It’s basically resold drop ship stuff…shit on temu being sold on Amazon for 2xs the price. It used to be the cheapest but not really anymore.

    Jesus Christ. You people twist reality like creationists.

    I hope to God you don’t go around saying this shit IRL. People must look at you funny if so.
