  • I think Amazon search is intentionally “bad”, as it suggests unrelated items that the customer has a high chance of viewing and buying.

    So it’s not so much of “search is bad” but “search is suggesting unrelated, but potentially interesting items” which leads to more sales.

    Also this is why the item descriptions are such pain in the ass, to show them in as many searches as possible - sellers gaming the system.

    The whole platform is designed to sell you as much shit as possible, usually on top of the item you actually wanted. This way you order your shit happily with some extra items in the cart

    Guess I’ve gotten used to them. At the beginning I’d just rip the cap off anyways, but now somehow managing though I do buy this sorta bottles rather rarely nowadays.

    ANYWAYS I don’t understand why so many products come in plastic bottles, or carton box with a fucking plastic cap. Aluminum cans are great, cartons are great, glass bottles are great. Why plastic???

    Eh, honestly I think blocking plus addressing as a workaround to block people from using multiple identities on the site is very weak argument and ignores completely the reason plus addeesses are being used in the first place, tagging.

    And the addition of “-” just tells they don’t really know what they’re doing, considering it’s not only valid but also very common symbol in email addresses
