Amazon’s ads strategy helped pump its profits while steering shoppers to higher-priced goods, the agency alleges.

Amazon is basically Ali Express or Temu. All the trustworthy / quality products are buried unless you explicitly search for them.
Except Aliexpress is still fun.
Let me spend 6 hours looking at slightly different screwdrivers and keycaps and dodgy anime merch and ICs that haven’t been used since 1988. Way better than 84 pages of KWJIBO brand home goods.
I went to multiple hardware, plumbing stores, and Amazon but only found my obscure bathtub faucet to hose fitting on aliexpress for less than a dollar
I ended up on Temu for the first time today since I always avoid Amazon. Pretty sure that site gave my phone an STD.
I use it to price check and sometimes figure out a better search term before I get it from a china direct seller.
Ali express isn’t that different from other websites, there are certain brands I know and trust, or if something is cheap enough, I will take a risk on it being good. I actually just bought some stuff there yesterday.
