More than 200,000 people had canceled their digital subscriptions by midday Monday, according to two people at the paper with knowledge of internal matters. Not all cancellations take effect immediately. Still, the figure represents about 8% of the paper’s paid circulation of 2.5 million subscribers, which includes print as well. The number of cancellations continued to grow Monday afternoon.

          Seriously, feels like a crapshoot if I’m actually getting a quality product or garbage that falls apart. Doesn’t help that you can’t trust the reviews, fake reviews aside it feels like every other item tries to bribe you with a gift card for a 5-star review.

            Open box shit sold as new, same/next/2 day deliveries getting delayed more often than not, counterfeits, genuinely dangerously unsafe products, a supply chain full of exhausted and burned out workers… Yeah it’s all so fucked. I can only hope their retail business collapses as it’s increasingly indistinguishable from aliexpress or ebay

          What? What country do you live in where Amazon has downright scams on it? Sure you might get something that’s a bit dodgy but if you do your due diligence you can avoid it. With eBay not so much where most products live in at most the paralegal grey area space.
