Edit: I found a slightly higher-quality version of the image:
The thing that gets me is why people buy stuff from Amazon to begin with. Their search feature is horrid now, the products on there are all cheap Chinese crap that’s way overpriced, the reviews aren’t reliable, their shitty AI is 100% collecting your data and selling to advertisers, the number of delayed deliveries has been increasing over time, and the list goes on and on. Like it’s a genuinely bad product now. I remember Amazon in 2016 was elite, but in 2026? It ain’t worth a quarter. This is on top of their shitty labor practices.
I mostly buy from ebay and direct websites when I can. Although in certain circumstances, I feel trapped; I’m trying to buy specific airsoft BBs and all online retailers only offer one jar and I would need to buy 3 jars for free shipping, I’m fine with that but they all have 1 in stock, only Amazon stocks like 14 in their warehouse
I have managed to avoid purchasing since 2024. I’m probably lucky to not have needs that would force me to though.
To have many hobbies, it’s a gift and a curse
