    You have $875k worth of stuff in your cart? Imagine accidentally clicking 1 click checkout or something.

    Curious why a woman’s long sleeve shirt shows up when searching for “Chandelier”. Algorithms never cease to amaze.

      Amazon search is becoming largely unusable now that they show you what they want to sell you, instead of what you want to buy. I was trying to buy a phone case the other day, which requires that I get one made for my phone, as everyone knows, and it kept showing me cases for other phones that I don’t own.

    I was looking for a winter jacket a few years ago and tried Amazon. I was scrolling through, and I wasn’t finding anything. So I sorted by price, high to low, thinking, I’m not poor I can splurge on a nice jacket.

    Top of the list was a jacket for $20K. I decided to stop saying shit like “I’m not poor”.
