I hadn't realised the full extent.of the awfulness of online retail. A bit depressing, tbh, but if you've been shopping online for a couple of decades, you'll understand how it became like it is today.

Way past its prime: how did Amazon get so rubbish? Sick of scrolling through junk results, AI-generated ads and links to lookalike products? The author and activist behind the term ‘enshittification’ explains what’s gone wrong with the internet – and ...
