This isn't exactly where this belongs so feel free to delete this. I'm mildly infuriated there is no usable alternative to Amazon.com. I'm more than willing to buy products elsewhere, but it's so easy to default to Amazon. Please help.

This right here! If you are looking at something on amazon go to Ali or Temu.

Quitting Amazon to use AliExpress or Temu is like quitting drinking alcohol by switching to heroin instead.

Environmental issues aside, cheap disposable shit that you have to replace constantly actually costs you way more in the long run.

I think the point behind made is that the stuff on Amazon is literally the same items. People buy off Alibaba / express and resell on Amazon... With a pretty good markup.

I see way more dropshipping on Amazon than before. It's gonna end up just being a front for the chineese stores.

I agree, but sometimes you just need some cheap shit. I'd rather pay 2$ for stickers for my kids than the same ones for 9$ on amazon.
