    Amazon used to sell products, not Shein-grade self-destructing dropshipped garbage from all-consonant brands.

    I knew it wasn’t just my imagination. Amazon has been filled with cheap Chinese knock-off brands in recent years, to the point where I may as well be using Temu or Wish for a bargain.

    If you went from the internet’s storefront to an upmarket AliExpress, that’s not a good sign.

      Just my last two orders:

      • expensive quality Covid test -> get the cheapest, which stopped working properly at Alpha / Beta
      • 3M respirators for $ 4 a piece -> a literal fake, hard to see, but it breaks already when putting on. 1 hour in support chat to convince them that something is wrong, but only got my money back, no investigation into the seller or product

      I will stay there for now though, because it’s still a great software, easy to use
