> The other part of the story is that a lot of formerly respectable quality brands now sell much poorer quality goods. I've felt this. A few years ago I bought Eddie Bauer sheets online and they pilled up so badly after one washing that I couldn't use them anymore. I can see how they'd be willing to ship off cheap crap to Amazon whereas they'd be more protective of what they sell in their stores. Amazon didn't even let me leave a negative review, some AI model must have decided I'm fraudulent. That would be especially ironic if the reason for my bad experience had been counterfeit products commingled with real ones.
