It also makes Amazon a lot less enticing to shop on. If I want cheap shit, I'd just as soon get it cheaper direct from China (Temu, AliExpress). If I want brand name products (IDK - do they even exist anymore?) I need to go to like Best Buy I guess.
I find best buys store brand "insignia" to be a good middle ground for not being cheap garbage, and being something I can carry straight back and demand a refund if it's crap
Amazon is just Wish but more expensive. But even if you go to Best Buy or Microcenter, you can still end up with the same rebranded crap.
