This is Amazon, too. This is basically any online shop that is active worldwide and organized around individual sellers, and it's one of the reasons I prefer to shop elsewhere nowadays. Hundreds of almost identical products, all with 4-5 star ratings of questionable veracity, photoshopped or downright fake images of the products. I simply can't judge what the products are like anymore.
I'm so tired of the obvious bad photoshops. Like you couldn't even be bothered to just use the product and take photos of that and instead just paste it into different contexts? Probably means the product wasn't treated for obvious flaws, maybe even deliberately because then it puts people back on the market when it breaks immediately or is a pain in the ass to use.
I'd like to see a store that curates their products, including retesting after something has been on the shelves because I know some opportunistic assholes will present a good product at first but then silently replace it with a cheaper version if they can get away with it.
The profit motive produces junk. I want a world with an excellence motive.
