The brand thing - Amazon/Alibaba combo makes it very trivial for the average Joe to sell their own private label product with only a few hundred dollar startup costs. That leads to a ton of market saturation and the paradox of choice when grown unchecked. I guess they really love saying that they have however million products or whatever.

Yes, exactly. And combined with the review padding this has grown out of control - and makes buying simple products endlessly complex. I hope that Amazon recognizes this, but yet I have yet to see them address the issue in any way.
