I’ve not used Amazon for purchases in around 5 years and my life is no worse.
I’ll often use it to find products and then buy them else where but as this post highlights it’s so annoying seeing the ads all the way and not just organic listing of products.

Where are you buying things that didn’t have ads or sponsored content?

I’m not sure what you mean?

I didn’t really understand what they meant either, and just thought it was a typo in a sarcastic comment saying something like “Why wouldn’t you want things that were irritatingly sponsored?!”, so I thought it was a confusing post (until right now when I re-read it), and I still have no idea why people have been downvoting you for not understanding.
Anyway, now I get what they were trying to say.
They mean “If you find it on amazon but then buy it elsewhere, presumably the elsewhere has fewer of the problems with ads and sponsored content, and you can find a specific item quite easily. I’m skeptical that such a place exists, but I’d sure like to use it if it does. Where is this magical elsewhere of which you speak?”

Thanks for explaining what they might have meant as I was a little confused.
It depends on the product, but here is such a site for computer hardware Scan
