Comment on We need a new Amazon

  Quitting Amazon to use AliExpress or Temu is like quitting drinking alcohol by switching to heroin instead.

  Environmental issues aside, cheap disposable shit that you have to replace constantly actually costs you way more in the long run.

    I think the point behind made is that the stuff on Amazon is literally the same items. People buy off Alibaba / express and resell on Amazon… With a pretty good markup.

    I see way more dropshipping on Amazon than before. It’s gonna end up just being a front for the chineese stores.

    I agree, but sometimes you just need some cheap shit. I’d rather pay 2$ for stickers for my kids than the same ones for 9$ on amazon.
