Comment on Amazon drivers’ urine packaged as energy drink, sold on Amazon - A documentary shows how easy it is to bypass Amazon's buying and selling safeguards.

  The insanity is not that they did it, it’s that Amazon allows it. It’s not like they were actually trying to sell urine, they just wanted to point out how fucked amazon is.

    Since that’s literally the only takeaway, if they can’t see it, I’m not sure explaining it will help.

    It’s not like Amazon has a category for “bottled urine.”

      You could read the article, it was a drink.

      with very few checks and balances in place to ensure the product he’s selling is safe and legal. “Releasing the drink was surprisingly easy,” Butler told WIRED. “I thought that the food and drinks licensing would stop me from listing it, so I started it out in this Refillable Pump Dispenser category. Then the algorithm moved it into drinks.”

      It’s almost like people expect that the things for sale are legal and safe, without first having people get harmed and having to report it.

        I did read it. My point is that it’s not like Amazon specifically supported this. Someone could pull this same stunt on eBay; would eBay then come under identical fire?

    Would everyone react the same way if this were eBay?
