Does anyone else go looking on amazon because they used to have loads of stuff, but now there’s just a few things over and over and over and they’re not quite what you wanted. It’s so full of promoted content and you keep thinking that somewhere on one of the pages there might be something new, but no, it’s these same products again and again.

    They do it on purpose. Makes you stay longer, increasing chances of extra sales

        Tbh, I find it a little more than mildly infuriating. Verging on very infuriating.

          I found what I wanted on ebay, where the same item only appeared more than once if more than one seller was selling it. Amazon repeats the same stuff over and over and over and over.

            Ebay sucks though too, they’ll steal your money. I will only use them as a last resort as well. I try to go directly to the manufacturer’s site to get around these big ones.
