Amazon used to be my go to for the occasional hardware purchase, but now even searching for something simple such as "wireless keyboard" brings up a boatload of sponsored garbage with shady reviews (iClever, VicTsing, Qpao, Mpow, Topelek what the hell are these brands?)
- maxxxxx 7y agoSame here. I get really stressed when I see the same thing under 29 different names with different prices.
- lighthazard 7y agoIt used to be that I would pop open Amazon any time I want to buy anything. Now I have to actively search for my options since Amazon is no longer my go-to option. It's unfortunate but Amazon has made it clear they care about their merchant dropshippers over keeping a measly customer like me.
- baybal2 7y ago> what the hell are these brands? This is what 1-man-brands are. I myself used to run a sunglasses brand in my student years :) Most are just dropshippers, or people working out of home. Recipe was simple: order cheapest 1 dollar sunglasses on Alibaba, have them put into fancy packaging and silkscreened with something Italian sounding. Then you make up a generic website with stock photos for your "brand" I was surprised with the amount of people keen to buy $100 to $200 sunglasses with nothing more than an Italian sounding brand name.
- petra 7y agoDoes this still work ?
- lighthazard 7y agoYes :D
- yoz-y 7y agoDon't know about the keyboards but Mpow earphones are not that bad.
