Скачать или смотреть Amazon Shopping Is Rigged

You open Amazon for one thing
Batteries
A charger
Toothpaste

Ten minutes later, you have twelve things in your cart, half of them from brands you have never heard of, and the original item is still not even purchased

That is not an accident
That is the system working exactly how it was built

In this episode of It's All a Scam, I break down how Amazon shopping actually works now
Why search results are basically ads
How the buy box decides who gets your money
Prime is not free shipping; it is a toll pass that trains you to buy more
How reviews turn into a casino when listings get mixed together
Why mystery sellers and weird quality are part of the marketplace model
And why returns are starting to feel like homework

The real scam is the loop
Ads push sellers to pay
Sellers paying pushes prices and tactics
Prime pushes you to shop more to justify the membership
More sellers flood in, quality gets messy
So you rely on reviews, and reviews get gamed
Then you return stuff, and the return friction quietly makes you keep it

If you have an Amazon story, drop it in the comments
What is the most normal thing you searched for
And what is the most ridiculous thing the algorithm tried to sell you right after
