Computer says no https://youtu.be/0n_Ty_72Qds

I really expected to see this, do people still watch 2001? https://youtu.be/Wy4EfdnMZ5g?si=K2GNOtlprFEyPj8A

Not frequently, but "computer says no" is more realistic scenario to happen, isn't it?

I brought up translation as a risk with a friend. If you pay someone for a translation these days, there is a chance they will just feed it to some AI to cut costs. You'll have no way to validate yourself if you don't speak the language.

And pay no attention to the fact that the seller is registered in China and sells everything from furniture to underwear, UV lamps, and I kid you not, "effective butt lifting massage cream".

Walmart, cosco, and a hundred other stores sell a wide range of stuff too. (on their websites, even if it is available direct from the manufacturer's website or other websites). Is the problem "registered in China"?

No, the problem is that this stuff is absolute junk sold by sellers who face zero accountability even if they put rat poison in your skin care cream, who can keep returning to the platform by making up new nonsense brand names like "FOPEAS" that don't even have a website, as fake and low effort as it might have been if they at least tried to pretend.

This issue is highly specific to Amazon and has been documented in great detail.

Using Amazon for shopping is terrible, borderline unusable in 2024. They're hard to compete with because they're giant and have an amazing logistics network, but it also seems like there's a big vacuum in the market for an "everything store" that's actually good.

They're fine at selling stuff, they're absolutely horrendous at being a place to search for a product if you don't know exactly what you're looking for. The solution is just to look for third-party specialist review sites who know what they're talking about.

If you stick to things that you

(a) don't care about the quality of, because they are either frivolously cheap or you are able to to the necessary 'QA' repairs and inspection yourself (for me these are things like circuit boards and household consumables);

(b) something you already know you want that specific thing of and the shipping speed and return policy make them the best online option;

(c) are only buying because you found it somewhere else and you didn't know you wanted it until you were told about it (deal sites like slickdeals are where I encounter this);

then amazon is fine.
