Doesn’t it feel like Amazon just isn’t good anymore? You search for something simple like a USB dongle and end up scrolling through overpriced, low-quality junk that looks great in photos but barely works when it shows up. What used to be the most convenient shopping platform now feels like a more expensive version of Temu. A big part of the problem? Dropshipping. Random sellers grab dirt-cheap products off Alibaba, mark them up 10x, and flood Amazon with ads to push them to the top of search results. You’re not paying for quality—you’re paying for fees, fake branding, and aggressive ad spend. Somehow, Amazon still wins. Their ad business makes more profit than their actual retail sales. The whole thing’s flipped—it's not about better products, it's about who can game the system hardest. This video explains why Amazon feels off lately.
