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

Oh wow, is that the same scan from years ago? Back in the day they had a good reputation for being decently priced with decent customer service. For some reason I thought they folded.

Yes I believe it is. They had a couple shops here in Manchester. Now they have a large place in Horwich near the Bolton Wanderers stadium.
It’s my goto for all my computer supplies. Customers service is still great.

Ah superb. Well done them. I’ve been to the Reebok Stadium, but I don’t think it was this century!
