That’s literally how it works. Amazon tracks purchase vs return ratio, and correlates reviews that say things like “it runs big/small.” If a bunch of people who normally order (and keep) large shirts, buy this and return it because it runs large, Amazon can use that information to warn other peoplewho typically order a large that it probably won’t fit right. They have access to all the data necessary to make these connections.
Comment on My T-shirt size is L
jacksilver@lemmy.world 3 days agoYeah, but sizing is user dependent. So unless it’s based on the users purchasing history it’s useless what the average person does.
If it said “L is your recommended size based on your purchase habits and customer data”, then sure. But it just says we recommend L because that’s what other people said/ordered, which makes no sense.

You’re still missing the fact that OP has XL selected.
It’s recommending L because OP has XL selected.
And presumably, people who typically order XL end up exchanging the XL for L.
It isn’t suggesting L because that’s the average person orders.
It 100% makes total sense.
