when going generic, i’ve found it’s best to stick with supplies that don’t really matter and easy to replace if it sucks–aluminum foil, trash bags, etc

A lot of it is because Amazon is known for stealing designs from innovative, small companies and running them out of business to sell their stolen designs under the Amazon Basic brand. Usually they do so by decreasing the quality of materials and relying on their own supply chain to keep prices low.

So no one is allowed to make sling bags because that company is selling it already? Doubt they invented sling bags lmao not much to innovate there. They sell their bag for $150 if Amazon can do it for $50 then get fucked greedy scum.

Unironically you say this in defense of AMAZON

… you haven’t watched the video, have you? Otherwise you would know why Amazon can sell their bag for only 50 bucks. Either way, 150 bucks isn’t even that much for a high quality bag that’ll last you years and is backed by a damn good warranty. That’s pretty much the same prize range as other high tech bags of that size. You get what you pay for.

Many companies sell sling bags for even way under $50 on Amazon lmao they look quality too. Rules for thee not for me type shit. You can’t sell a sling bag but I can. Yea I didn’t watch the video because it’s bullshit clearly Amazon is not the only one who can sell a $50 bag there are multiple sellers selling equivalent bags less than that.
