Does Amazon only sell junk now or what?

I got a free $50 Amazon gift card and I'm trying to find a good quality double hinged umbrella and I can't find any that don't have any negative reviews about it breaking after only the first or second use. Even other things have really negative reviews like I can't find a decent teacup where not a single person complains that it's not made of real bone china or other things.
Is Amazon just basically a Haven now for cheap chinese-made fucking junk or what? I can't even find a decent sata to USB hard drive adapter without any negative reviews. This is why I shop on eBay. I fucking hate when I get Amazon gift cards.

I think the issue here are the negative reviews. You give 30,000 people who purchased an item the opportunity to review it and you're gonna get 6000 reviews, and several hundred of them are going to have tried to install it wrong or broke it and wanted to try to get a new one for free or something.
Not to say there aren't bad products, there's just a lot of stupid people.

There ae a lot of fake good and bad reviews. People set up review farms and pay people to make reviews. Good ones for their products, bad ones for the competitors' products.
That said, there is a lot of Chinese made counterfeit goods on Amazon, also.

I never leave a review and 9/10 I'm very satisfied with purchases.

Amazon finds what you're looking for.
It you ask for cheap shit, it'll give you cheap shit.
It's a computer program, not AI.

I don't trust umbrellas. They say it's only bad luck if you open them inside, but I can't be too safe, I have enough bad luck as it is. Get you a nice jacket

I have two umbrellas. One of them is larger and mildly broken but still perfectly usable. The other one is smaller and pretty durable but I really really really want a double hinged umbrella so that it won't break in the wind if it gets inverted.

I used to be able to find way better things on Amazon like 10 years ago. I now use ebay exclusively and have been for the last few years.

I buy most stuff from Amazon and I usually have good luck. When I get something cheap then they have a pretty good return policy.
I ordered a greenhouse for my wife and it didn't match the description. We complained and they offered to give us another free one or to give us 75% off so we took the discount and got $300 back! For other stuff they usually refund the money and let you keep the item.
I LOVE ONLINE SHOPPING!!!

1. You have to know what you're looking for 2. Sort reviews by NEWEST; I base my choices off of that pay attention to the date, you'll notice sometimes a lot of complaints are 5+ years old and things are completely different, just same seller.
I got a 32GB jump drive for my keychain the other day, Samsung, like $10 and it's the best one I've ever gotten in my 27+ years with computers.

I found a sata to usb adapter with all positive reviews for $19. Legit ones. I got a multivitamin for $40 that was recommended to me in a different sub, and got a free $10 Amazon gift card for downloading the app. They are giving me another $10 in 24 hours for using the app. I'm going to uninstall the app once I use this free Amazon shit up.
