DrudgeAmazon Prime Day lowest price!! unless you count last week...or even yesterday...argh...
Ah there was a time when Prime Day was kind of fun, a Christmas in July kind of feeling. But now Amazon is just so loaded with knock off junk that doesn’t work, spam postings, review manipulation, etc I absolutely dread shopping on Amazon for anything other than something I need right away, can’t get in a local store, and don’t care if it breaks in 2 months. I’ve never given less of a shit about Prime Day than I do today, and that’s even without factoring in the price manipulation noted by OP.
Lemmington BunnieThey need a “don’t show crappy Chinese junk” filter - I love shopping, but it’s impossible to browse for anything worthwhile, and incredibly boring.
I’m not sure there’s be much left if you switched that on!
There is a Tampermonkey script to highlight Chinese sellers: greasyfork.org/…/402064-soldby-reveal-sellers-on-…
Thank you! And I seriously cannot believe how many sellers are Chinese. This is just crazy.
mershed_perderdersI can’t believe you don’t need anything from WEWEQ or GOVEEUOO or QUOPEO. These are household brand names!
Don’t forget good old Pukemark, the brand Grandma trusts!
danThere’s a reason behind the weird brand names. The seller has to have a trademark on the brand name in order to participate in several Amazon programs, such as their predictive analytics . The easiest way to guarantee your trademark application succeeds is by ensuring it can’t possibly conflict with any existing trademark, and the easiest way of doing that is by generating a random string that’s (somewhat) pronounceable.
Wait until the trademark names are GUIDs lol
Lmao I told my wife recently the company names that dominate search results look like somebody just wiped their hands across a keyboard and said yep that’s the name alright.
Service/platform enshitification is extremely frustrating. Incidentally, it seems to have a very direct correlation with the greed and sociopathy of the CEO/owner.
