"half the stuff is fake, the other half is ads"
You and I have had very different experiences with Amazon. I am not sure where this sentiment is coming from, I have literally never seen "fake" products on there. I appreciate that there are obviously some bad actors on that site re-selling stuff, but I cannot say I have experienced them and I use Amazon a fair amount.
Do you have some examples?
