the license the name from the brand owner to make watches you'll be shocked to find out every single pair of sunglasses at Sunglass Hut is made from the same company.
What's actually shady is the practice common among electronics and mattress sellers of having exclusive model numbers for what amounts to the same product at other retailers. This is done to deter price matching and comparison shopping.

What's funny about this article is: 1. It's obvious clickbait - "secret" brands - how salacious! Yeah, as though a company wants to keep things it sells secret. 2. Each time you click on a link from the Quartz article, you are given a url with a link tracker tag. For example, for the Arabella brand, you get: 16352060011?tag=quartz07-20 So basically someone sat there behind a computer, authoring an article while using…
Nice catch. I used to think Quartz had some quality standards.
If somebody is linking to Amazon and users start shopping, why is it so bad that they get a slice of the pie?
Makes sense, brands don't mean anything themselves.
Amazon isn't doing some sneaky business here, just regular business. I'm not going to wear an Amazon branded polo, but I might wear a GoodThreads branded polo.

2. I suspect that it's just a script that adds the Amazon Affiliate tag to the URLs. This is pretty typical for large publication CMS's.

I never understood the outrage behind referral links. If somebody is linking to Amazon and users start shopping, why is it so bad that they get a slice of the pie?
