Have you noticed an increase in generic junk products on Amazon?

Have you noticed that whenever you search for a given product on Amazon, the initial results are all these products with meaningless "brand names" in all caps like ZORXWO and STILVY and things like that? Apparently these are throwaway trademarks that Chinese factories create to conform to American law which requires products be sold under a brand name. And you have to scroll through a lot of this stuff to find any recognizable brands.

Amazon seems to have gotten really crappy recently. I ended up canceling my Prime subscription. 😕

They likely have a lot more sellers on their platform looking to make money, plus the usual supply chain issue excuse.

And brand you don't know, does not automatically mean they are junk. Name brands mean very little these days. Doing your own due diligence before you buy a product has always been, and still is, your job, not theirs. I don't want amazon deciding for me what my needs are, or anyone else for that matter.
