Downvoting this because it's irrelevant to the topic at hand (Amazon is stuffing search results pages with ads).
It's your right to free-associate all amazon gripes onto this thread, but I'll just use the system to indicate that they are noise to me.
- nkurz 8y agoThe downvote is fine, but the comment explaining it is excessive. Different people will have different senses of what's relevant vs irrelevant. Although this specific article is about ads on Amazon, I'm personally more interested in the larger question of why/whether Amazon is shooting themselves in the foot with bad policy choices. As such, 'jrockway' was on topic for me.
- alexandercrohde 8y agoMeh, when I'm downvoted I prefer to receive a justification. So I return the civility.
- jrockway 8y agoYou're definitely right. This happened to me yesterday and seemed to be relevant to the conversation, as the other top-rated comments were along the lines of "I'm tired of Amazon for additional reason X." Technically this has nothing to do with ads, which doesn't change how I feel about Amazon. I am fine if they want to put ads on their pages. I am not OK if they post fake reviews or filter out negative reviews, though.
