Exclusive: Amazon bosses forced staff at the company's Bristol warehouse to work without access to drinking water and toilets — the latest example of the company's hyper-exploitative employment practices.
I don’t buy on Amazon anymore. Not only to they treat their employees like crap, but also it’s harder and harder to find quality stuff on their platform. Fake reviews are a huge problem.
Completely agree. Don’t use them for numerous reasons now, one (of many) being the amount of cheap junk cluttering up the search results with fake reviews.
While there’s definitely a lot of crap on there I’ve gotten pretty good at picking out stuff that’s good for the price. I got this magnetic phone case and wallet combo and was actually baffled it was comparable to something I’d buy at say Macy’s or something. Nothing fancy but well made and cheap. And it didn’t explode. But I see most people have trouble with it including my SO. He will buy stuff sometimes and it’s just trash. The Amazon brand stuff though is surprisingly good and we had swarn not to buy anything that said Amazon on it lol. Oh well.

Amazon is the new AliExpress with higher prices.

I feel like 2023 will be remembered as the year of enshitification.
I feel like the 2020s will be remembered as the Decade of Enshitification.
Sad that you’re right. I even questioned saying, decade, but hesitated thinking I shouldn’t be to negative. 🥴
Probably only because it became so glaringly obvious despite having started far earlier.
Probably more likely to be remembered as the year of enshittification.
