Amazon drivers’ urine packaged as energy drink, sold on Amazon - A documentary shows how easy it is to bypass Amazon’s buying and selling safeguards.::A documentary shows how easy it is to bypass Amazon’s buying and selling safeguards.
Btw this dude didnt send his piss to everyone. The only shipping orders he filled was for his friends ordering it to see if it would work. Other people also bought some, but the guy didn’t ship it, because that would be insane.
Only slightly more insane than putting it up for sale in the first place.
The insanity is not that they did it, it’s that Amazon allows it. It’s not like they were actually trying to sell urine, they just wanted to point out how fucked amazon is.
Since that’s literally the only takeaway, if they can’t see it, I’m not sure explaining it will help.
It’s not like Amazon has a category for “bottled urine.” Was it left up after it was flagged?
You could read the article, it was a drink.
with very few checks and balances in place to ensure the product he’s selling is safe and legal. “Releasing the drink was surprisingly easy,” Butler told WIRED. “I thought that the food and drinks licensing would stop me from listing it, so I started it out in this Refillable Pump Dispenser category. Then the algorithm moved it into drinks.”
It’s almost like people expect that the things for sale are legal and safe, without first having people get harmed and having to report it.
I did read it. My point is that it’s not like Amazon specifically supported this. Someone could pull this same stunt on eBay; would eBay then come under identical fire?
They just did for selling those coal rolling kits. I don’t see why this would be any different. They’re facilitating the sale. It’s their platform. They have a responsibility to the people who use it, as well as a responsibility to treat their workers like human beings.
Haha this dude totally misses the point.

Would everyone react the same way if this were eBay?
Oh sht can he sell bath water next please
I love this show for the fact that at one point, this guys water is actually used as a solution for some random problem. None of the nonsense is left as just nonsense, it is all part of the world.
Salty… or so a friend tells me.
And? I swear to God you people go out of your way to find stuff that doesn’t affect anyone. Nearly 15 years and probably 40k in merchandise and I’ve had like 1 or 2 issues.

I’m so sorry you lack the capacity to use Amazon. Godspeed.
You’re missing the entire point. You’re the one lacking capacity.
👌👍
