Amazon turned out really weird. I feel like the idea of Amazon should be consolidating reputable retailers together, but they decided to open the floodgates to random people and now it’s little better than wish.com. Maybe they should split the site up and push all the random sellers onto a different platform.
I trust nothing on there anymore, it is very difficult to wade through the crap. All I want is a 3m HDMI 2.1 cable and I don’t believe what I’m getting.
Have you had any issues, I’m seeing ridiculously long cables that I didn’t think we’re commercially available like 15m 48gbps HDMI which I thought was above the length maximum
There are optical HDMI cables with much longer maximum lengths than passive copper cables. I assume the electrical - optical conversion is done in the plug itself.
I prefer fleaBay these days. I mostly know what I’m getting whether it be someone’s personal item or a mass produced product. I feel like I have better control. Not a lot, but more. I also use B&H for tech stuff.
Bought some plant stuff for the wifes bday and the company name on Amazon was XXXtenacion…wtf does that even mean? Why xxx? I don’t know, but there are thousands of these ai generated/poorly translated brandings going on.
For a lot of it its a couple of steps away from ali express atleast. So much so that most of it is just ali express but 10 times more expensive with next day delivery.

It’s like chinavasion but with better marketing.
I’ve always bought cables from Monoprice first and Amazon second.

That is unbelievable, I never knew this. I can’t believe there is a terminal in the jack allowing for the conversion it’s really impressive.

I love how you people go full on crazy when these stories come out.
Yeah, it is definitely just a step away from wish 🙄

Hey man I’ve had quality knockoffs from Wish. Wish is great if it’s not much and you wanna gamble a little.
But, so is Amazon, now. Better return policy, but you pay full price so the gamble is way worse.
