This resonates so much with me.
I had a similar experience with dongles, but also with some hardware like screwdriver kits.
It seems like the amount of choice we get nowadays is inversely proportional to the quality of the products.
It can become excruciating to shop for the most basic items on Amazon, because most of them are just cheap shit.
That's the price you pay for relocating so much stuff.
It also makes Amazon a lot less enticing to shop on. If I want cheap shit, I'd just as soon get it cheaper direct from China (Temu, AliExpress). If I want brand name products (IDK - do they even exist anymore?) I need to go to like Best Buy I guess.
Amazon is just Wish but more expensive. But even if you go to Best Buy or Microcenter, you can still end up with the same rebranded crap.
