If I'm buying clothes for the gym, I don't want to buy "ROWILUX" or "YAKER" or "YSENTO" brand. I've bought enough to know they're all junk. Just show me the stuff that people actually put effort into! If I'm looking for an iPhone, I'll search for iPhones. If I'm looking for tank tops, show me the ones that aren't going to disintegrate after a month.

Jeez, I thought you were making up those brand names. Turns out they are real https://www.amazon.com/sp?seller=A3P9TYWGAPWJQM https://www.amazon.com/sp?seller=A3P9TYWGAPWJQM https://www.amazon.com/stores/YAKER/node/13187735011 https://www.amazon.com/stores/YAKER/node/13187735011 https://www.amazon.com/stores/ROWILUX/主页/page/2DD5E212-93B0-458F-B4DF-1F73CE6A14F5 https://www.amazon.com/stores/ROWILUX/主页/page/2DD5E212-93B0-...

  Oh, that's nothing. Try doing a search for ARSUXEO (mostly cycling clothing)...

Just show me the stuff that people actually put effort into! This is actually how I feel about self-published books. Amazon won't stop recommending them to me. I bought a couple, and the writing quality is truly atrocious. So now self-published just means I am guaranteed not to buy the book unless it gets a meaningful recommendation from someone trustworthy. And I once bought the cheapest available toilet paper from Lucky. It was terrible, definitely not worth the minor savings. On the other hand, I don't really think it's wrong for Amazon to be selling self-published books, or for Lucky to be selling ultra-cheap toilet paper.

Those have ruined Amazon for me. Literally any search you do will yield pages of junk knockoff products with a name like that, all uppercase. It's ridiculous, really.
