    Amazon has the money to vet its products and provide better search results, it just chooses not to because it doesn’t need to.

    Better to shove a shitty, expensive product in customer’s faces than a cheap, standard one.

      Not only that, Amazon has the mechanisms to prevent counterfeiting today: dedicated bins for individual sellers products. They just make the vendors pay an extra fee to use it.

      Literally extorting their sellers. “Gee it’d be a shame if some counterfeit merchandise were to be sold instead of yours. I could protect you from that”
