Does anyone else go looking on amazon because they used to have loads of stuff, but now there's just a few things over and over and over and they're not quite what you wanted. It's so full of promoted content and you keep thinking that somewhere on one of the pages there might be something new, but no, it's these same products again and again.

I didn't really understand what they meant either (until right now when I re-read it for the third to fifth time in a day and got it).
I just thought it was a typo in a sarcastic comment saying something like "Why wouldn't you want things that were irritatingly sponsored?!", so I thought it was a confusing post, and I still have no idea why people have been downvoting you for not understanding.
Anyway, now I get what they were trying to say.
They mean "If you find it on amazon but then buy it elsewhere, presumably the elsewhere has fewer of the problems with ads and sponsored content, and you can find a specific item quite easily. I'm skeptical that such a place exists, but I'd sure like to use it if it does. Where is this magical elsewhere of which you speak?"
Thanks for explaining what they might have meant as I was a little confused.
It depends on the product, but here is such a site for computer hardware Scan
Oh wow, is that the same scan from years ago? Back in the day they had a good reputation for being decently priced with decent customer service. For some reason I thought they folded.
Yes I believe it is. They had a couple shops here in Manchester. Now they have a large place in Horwich near the Bolton Wanderers stadium.
It’s my goto for all my computer supplies. Customers service is still great.
Ah superb. Well done them. I've been to the Reebok Stadium, but I don't think it was this century!
It’s called The Toughsheet Community Stadium these days. 🤮.
But yeah it’s a great store and it’s fun to wander around looking at everything.
What's the Toughsheet Community? Is it a local buyout or something?
You are actually tempting me to have a train trip up there or something! I think I should resist, though!
Yes, it appears to be a local business. Makes me wonder how inexpensive it might be to get a stadium named after you or how large this company is.
Depending how far you would be taking the train it could be fun. I would stress though it’s not huge, but they have some cool pc builds you can see, obviously all products you can buy and then a few custom rigs like for F1 Sims where it has the seat and wheel you can try.
It's tempting. I'm on holiday now until the new year!
