I just noticed he also mentioned sponsored ads in Amazon results and etc, which are definitely worse.

I’ve cut down buying from them quite a bit, but when using the Amazon app, or web without adblock, the sponsored results have made the shopping experience SIGNIFICANTLY worse in the last 6 months.

It used to be that you’d see one here and there, but the volume of sponsored results has gotten ridiculous, and the quality is awful. Half of the sponsored results I see - at best - are very specifically not what I searched for. Sometimes not even close.

It’s one of several reasons I hardly buy from them anymore.
