#2Amazon is unusable at this point, and I don’t get how they have so many customers. Free and fast shipping is no longer exclusive to them, and there are others out there with far nicer websites and no shitty ad listings.

It's easy. It's easier to buy there than elsewhere because it's habit.
I stopped prime a couple years ago, I buy from other stores when I can, but sometimes you just need protein powder, spray bottles, stove gaskets, a 300 piece puzzle, and a cello stand. Amazon makes it possible to just buy one spot.

My shipping has deteriorated massively in the last couple of years. What used to be 2 day shipping as a prime member is now often as much as 10 days. That, plus all the knock-offs and bad product quality, has made me stop using Amazon for much.

It's much worse than that. They no longer offer fast shipping; you're not allowed to pay for it even if you want it.

Shopify and Apple Pay make it a lot easier than it used to be.

#10Time for somebody to make an alternative interface, like teddit.com. I imagine this could be done with front-end code only.
