What I really detest in Amazon Adverts, is the tracked adverts for stuff they wont sell to me. I live in Switzerland, and some things I can order at amazon.de, others not. I often only find out at checkout which it is. So lets say I want to buy an SSD, I shop at amazon.de, find out they won't sell/ship it to me. Then for a month I get followed by amazon adds for that SSD that they wont sell to me.
- usrusr 11y agoSometimes, when I'm angry at Amazon, I deliberately window-shop all those expensive feature phones from the mid-00s that Amazon still has not pruned from their database. For weeks the whole web will be decorated with ads for the fast-forgotten technical marvels of the past and there is that stupid little satisfaction of seeing what is supposed to be the greatest AI in existence filling the tipjar of websites for putting my eyeballs on pictures of a Walkman phone.
- frik 11y agoThe Amazon.de branch is especially bad at this. It got worse with the new EU VAT that differs for every country, most third party vendors on Amazon.de ship only to destinations in Germany, but not to neighbour countries. Only on the checkout page Amazon.de shows one that they won't deliver the item - very bad UX.
