What I remember being useful was that, when you clicked on an item, somewhere on the page would be a carousel with items that other customers who looked at that item eventually ended up buying/also looked at. It was genuinely helpful information that generally would make it faster to find what you were actually looking for.

At some point they got rid of that despite it being useful. I assume that Amazon prefers being able to control what you see when you search for an item. Now you’ll still see carousels and comparison tables when you click on an item, but it’s all stuff that vendors paid to have placed there (or that Amazon decided it wants you to see).
