    Any recommendations? It seems a lot of my alternatives are turning heel and I would like more options. Preferably ones not likely to turn heel.

        little choice for amazon the logistic company

        Depends on where you live. Here in Germany we have a few alternatives, like “Otto” and a few others with specialisations like electronics. Some of them have a marketplace just like Amazon and they even offer the same cheap chinese crap that Amazon has to offer. So you could feel right at home.

          Can use a website like idealo to search multiple stores at once. I just wish they had a filter to block amazon results.

        Amazon is barely a thing here in Sweden. It’s niche drop shipped garbage for the most part, very similar to Wish and the like.

        They have some non-garbage stuff at the same price you find elsewhere.

        They also don’t do logistics here. Utterly useless company.

          Yeah they pulled out of QC so if I wasn’t so close to Ontario they’d be completely useless for me in canada too. Not that I haven’t avoided them for big purchases like computer stuff already, gonna have to look what general marketplaces we have otherwise lol

        playstation

        The game console, made by Sony, who famously keeps trying to fuck everyone else over?

          All game console companies famously keep trying to fuck everyone else over. Sony actually comes off fairly well compared to Nintendo and Microsoft.

            Sony shipped literal rootkits with their software years ago.

              Yes. Twenty years ago. Now take a look at what Nintendo and Microsoft have been doing just within the past couple of years (as well as what they were doing twenty years ago and beyond, since they both have long track records of shitty behaviour.)

              Yes, Sony is not a good company, but we’re comparing them to Nintendo and Microsoft here.

                True. Nintendo is extremely cutthroat with their IP, they like going after emulators and similar.

              Jeez, guys… You’re a paleontologist or what? That happened centuries ago.
