@pixelkeen I feel like anything where failure or poor quality cannot be easily worked around should not be bought from Amazon top results.

• Office chairs

• Guidebooks, etc, because a lot of those are POD AI bullshit, full of misinformation, but keyword-stuffed to appear at the top.

(On a side note: even when looking up specific, reputable books on Amazon, it's risky because there are low-quality fakes being sold as the real thing. This happens both with popular and obscure books!)

@eishiya

• my mesh ergo chair from no name amazon seller confirms this. Can't sit in it for long periods because it cuts off circulation to my legs lolol.

• And I thought Mr. Bezos just wanted to share the love of books! /s
