The fact that Amazon doesn't have a way to recommend complimentary products ("oh, you just bought a tent? You probably want some bug spray") boggles.

  Isn't that what the "frequently bought together" suggestions are?

    And that algorithm works. I once bought an obscure heli-coil. It knew to recommend the right bushings, and right pitched screws. It knew I would problally need the extra stuff. The price was low enough to chance it. Traditional retail needs to up their game. That said, I refuse to pay for Prime. Why--I just bought too much unneeded stuff. I'm currently trying to only spend on what I really need. Including spending a lot to impress pretty women. I figured if they are impressed with seemingly fancy chit; I don't need it. Or, we'll spend your money? I'm quite the guy? I wasen't born this way, just evolved? And every man knows when to pull out the equal card? At an overpriced dinner? Never again. How did I get on this tangent?

    Yeah but they should show that in the recommendations, not just when I'm at the product page.
