If you have a specific product that you are looking for and it is eligible for Prime then I have found this to be the experience.

Where I have not found that is if I am browsing, e.g. today I wanted to look for an evaporative humidifier. The top results are sponsored and for brands I have never heard of like YougetTech. I find I have to depart Amazon, Google / Reddit for things to get a sense of what the trusted brands are and then go back on Amazon to purchase it.

Isn't that true for all stores, though? If I'm buying something like that, I'll always search for reviews before deciding, whether or not Amazon is involved. Even if it's at a brick-and-mortar store.

The phrase "caveat emptor" was coined long before Amazon existed.

No. I can close my eyes and pick anything in Costco and it will be high quality for the money.
