Amazon used to sell products, not Shein-grade self-destructing dropshipped garbage from all-consonant brands.
I knew it wasn’t just my imagination. Amazon has been filled with cheap Chinese knock-off brands in recent years, to the point where I may as well be using Temu or Wish for a bargain.
If you went from the internet’s storefront to an upmarket AliExpress, that’s not a good sign.
I don’t work in IT, and a lot of bigger companies (my employer included) have restrictions on what employees can install on their work machines. It’s basic security measures to prevent malware infections.
