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. 😕

I’ve noticed this yes, this always happens when a distributor gets too big and greedy. There is also an increase in counterfeit products on Amazon, basically you’re buying from a robotic mind when shopping there. I have almost cut Amazon out of my life.
