For a company worth over a trillion dollars, there's this unmistakable layer of couldn't-give-a-fuckness to all their products.
From a store that ships blatantly fake products, through the video service that misses subtitles on like half the movies, or looks like it's been transferred from a well used VHS, to the music service that used to let you listen to full albums, but on playing you notice that a bunch of tracks are missing from it.
And the race to the bottom ain't even over yet.
It's actually really fucking sad how bad their marketplace is. I can buy more legitimate tech items from a creepy back alleyway in Malaysia and that's a really bad sign. I don't want to be scammed and have to return every other item or more, it's so wasteful.
They are able to burn so much money without even a second thought it is so impressive and scary to watch. So yeah "This track is not available" was like final straw.
P.S. on couldn't give a fuck-ness did you know that Amazon video has a share watch function that includes a live chat and sync play? They paid a developer for this and it seems completely forgot it's in their system
My favourite Amazon Prime GUI WTF was the old one where you'd have a bit of blurb about the film on the main page, you'd click into it to see more info, and it would just show it in bigger text so you'd be able to read even less of it... 👍
