> Now around every corner lies a brand you’ve never heard of, selling a product you’re not sure about. Amazon used to be a department store, now its a bazaar + department store. You can still find the old trusted brand stuff if you want, but now you can also get a much larger diversity of products. People in the department store model just assume that any weirdly named brand they haven't heard of is just automatically a shitty product but that hasn't been true for a long time. Actually pretty often the well known brand is selling the same thing at a 2x markup. The department stores have their own websites if you prefer that curated experience though.
