Boston Mayor Hosts NO WHITES Holiday Party for 'ELECTEDS OF COLOR' ONLY: Rising Reacts - YouTubeThe grift is not something to be embarassed about ‘anymore’. It's now seen as high status, because the most visibly high status people are all doing it. There's also no point in ‘investigating’ it for journalists, because the people are doing it like bragging. Anything promising a way out for a no-way-out situation looks good to people, where no one making minimum wage can afford a 2-bedroom anywhere.
The Downfall of Amazon: Dangerous Products, Fake Reviews & Vanishing Brands - YouTube‘The ability to order something at 9pm and have it arrive at 7am the next causes me to make impulse purchases that I wouldn’t otherwise do.' - Louis Rossman. Combine this with an online store that has a lot of very low quality products. There's nowadays much less brand name things on Amazon, and have been replaced with low quality. In the stores, little items like screws are often stolen out of the bags, Rossman noted, even if he'd rather go there and pay a bit of a premium.
Someone said ‘the branded era is over,’ meaning that because of reviews you would no longer have to look for a trusted brand and could buy a no name with good reviews. However, on a system like Amazon they're stuffed with fake reviews.
‘No name products that have really good reviews that are complete garbage.’
As a seller, Amazon has given full refunds for people who buy a product, the wrong product for what they need (like a computer screen), then destroy it (trying to make if fit), then message Amazon for a refund, all in a few hours. As a seller, you pay for that.
Rossman thinks that the people still selling on Amazon are people who make the type of (low quality) product that can't compete on a (better) type of marketplace.
