The fact that they are now selling an overabundance of highly questionable stuff. Like products offered from companies with names like QHTZNNDR and PYTTHSWVXX. Like "restaurant quality Stainless Steel" items that come out of the delivery box all rusted. Like book rip-offs written by AI.
They are in "product decline" IMHO, but probably not "financial decline" just yet. But that will come eventually (it will take a while). For the customers trying to buy product, if their experiences are like mine, there are a ton of choices to pick from, more now than ever before - but a lot of them are pure junk. You really have to watch what you are ordering. You can't trust the product descriptions presented - they are just not honest in a lot of cases. Is this widget I'm looking at - claimed to be Mil-Spec titanium (whatever that is) that has a price of $2.49 REALLY titanium? Ha! It's probably the lowest grade pot metal they could source from Vietnam. But Amazon evidently has zero qualms allowing them to advertise it as titanium. Product decline. Buying from Amazon is getting to be like buying from AliExpress.
