> When 99.99% of the customers have garbage as a website

When you think 99.99% of company websites are garbage, it might be your rating scale that is broken.

This reminds me of all the people who rage at Amazon’s web design without realizing that it’s been obsessively optimized by armies of people for years to be exactly what converts well and works well for their customers.

Or it could mean that most websites are trash.

Yeah, sorry. I will praise plenty of Amazon's scale, but not their deception, psychological manipulation, and engagement traps. That goes squarely in "trash website".

I put up with a lot, but the price jumpsa was finally the trigger i needed to cancel prime this year. I don't miss it.

which can easily be garbage. it only has to be not garbage enough to not cause enough customers to shift enough spending elsewhere
