At its peak point of customer experience value (which Amazon has definitely past), Amazon was great because it was generally easy to find a good set of options for whatever you were looking to buy, in one place/one search.
Now, it’s full of fake/cheap crap with manipulated reviews and “sponsored” search results. Before it was good about exposing useful data (e.g.: “others who searched for x eventually bought y” and other similar features. That’s all but gone now. You only see what is useful to Amazon for you to see.
So, my question is, where do I go to find that same general search function for shopping? It’s not google. I’m not sure it exists but it’s needed. (Or anyone have a link?)
