Ask HN: What's Going on with Amazon Search?

There has been a lot of talk around how Google search is becoming worse. Like many others, I am appending "reddit" to almost every search to get useful results instead of low-quality spam.

Over the last few years I feel the same has been happening to Amazon. There have always been FBA sellers that buy from Chinese suppliers and re-brand the same base product, result in tons of different-looking-but-actually-same products. But it has never been as bad as now. It's has become nearly impossible to find quality products in all the spam, sponsored ads, fake reviews, and rebrandings.

I am now finding myself appending "reddit" to my Amazon searches as well because I don't trust the results! Does anyone else do the same?
