Tell HN: Amazon's book search is gamed, keyword-stuffed, and inaccurate

Even legit companies abuse that. Dymo's latest label printer models enforce DRM on the paper which is a shitty move on its own. But then what they did on Amazon was swap their model 450 printer to the new model 550 so they would keep all of the good reviews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwggIw2HQuQ

I would say that definitively puts Dymo in the "not legit" camp. They're shady af.

The issue isn't dyno (although it is their actions that obviously started it) it's that amazon does nothing to protect their customers from companies like dymo.

I swear it’s like some companies want to remind us how little the care.
