A recent shower thought: The shittier Amazon makes itself, the more attractive alternative shitty stores look.
Like, apparently, I can skip Amazon and use AliExpress as my source for random all-caps six-letter brand name hobby supplies? And it comes direct from the factory in China for half the price in under two weeks?
Even if a package evaporates occasionally or arrives filled with gravel instead of what I ordered, it's an overall comparable experience.

@lmorchard i am a big proponent that if you're going to buy chinese stuff might as well get it straight from the horse's mouth than fund a billionaire's third yacht
