My favorite enshittification of Amazon is how you can filter products by manufacturer, but only if the manufacturer is a reputable company like JOOGEE or XZzy or GoodTime and not those weird no-name companies like Anker or Samsung.
Won't even bring up the brands I like unless I search for them specifically, even then they're not the first result. Amazon gives the ad space to brands that are around for 3 months then poof.
but you should buy stuff from Smorkyaplorb Megasystems because they give the best kickbacks
Oh and I love when I sort by price and half the results disappear.
My favorite enshittification of Amazon is that, plus, the bonus fact the filtering acts different if you pay for prime. The filtering works better with prime. It should work the same regardless if one pays for prime or not.
They basically deliver a shopping experience that is worse unless you pay them money monthly. It's enshittification two layers of abstraction deep.
