twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross
@karlbode.com I've heard anecdotally that many of the Prime Day deals are basically scams. The sellers jack up the prices of products in the days or weeks leading up to the event, then cut back the prices to around where they originally were on Prime Day, so you don't actually save any money at all.
