Yeah. I am quietly anti-Amazon so I mostly do not use the site. Occasionally, I'll browse for something I need and its really a shitshow:

- searching for a brand, rarely returns items by the brand

- search results are extremely poor and quickly get worse as you browse

- they hold packages for shipping by non-prime members

I haven't used Amazon regularly in several years so maybe it is more apparent for me. I also don't trust the "higher" end products to not be counterfit. It's a classic case of overoptimization, they may make more money but the experience is SO BAD. I have bought elsewhere because it was honestly kind of a chore to find what I wanted on the site.
