Comment on Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims
Rekorse@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days agoI don’t have a lot of inner details about amazon but I do know that they have peaked already as far as retail goes. I don’t know when, I just know its happened already.
Amazon is no longer any of the following:
- The cheapest deal
- Filled with reliable reviews
- Filled with trustworthy companies
And on top of that, their product search page is to the point where not even the advertisers are having a good time. The end users (buyers) stopped having a useful interface a while before that.
Its easier now for me to avoid amazon simply because they aren’t the best deal by nearly any metric any more.

I see. Well, my point still stands; we’re choosing amongst shit anyway

True, most global brands are garbage, but I do see a lot of stuff locally thats sprung up to fill interesting niches. I still think the community of people who say “fuck big business, and fuck endless greed” is a growing bunch so I’m hopeful.
It helps for me to watch what the generations after me are doing, and they are doing a fine job fighting for progress in my opinion.

I don’t see much of a “fuck corporate greed” around me. And there are some things are much better overseas, like cheap IOT gizmos. Purchasing a cheap relay is much easier from the bigger brands on Aliexpress than from a local manufacturer

Yeah I think probably me saying “big business” is overly broad.
I almost always use that to mean big companies that use their size unfairly in the marketplace, and I’m not just talking about how production of scale works.
I do think that we need to really open up the global market, this competition by country is sort of ridiculous, but I’m not going to pretend I understand it all enough to prescribe a solution.
