Amazon.com

If I don't find what I need in the first few results I have to scroll endlessly. No amount of filtering or sorting helps.

The browsing experience is lacking. I think most people have been trained to buy specific items, rather than searching for the product that is good for them.

I did not renew my amazon.com prime membership this year and I'm about to cancel my prime credit card.

I think the covid lockdown really made me look at what I was spending money on. 95% of my orders on amazon were things I did not need within 2-3 days, heck even a week. And probably 50% of the things I bought I did not need at all. Not to mention I could have purchased them in retail stores.

While Amazon is convenient to shop, it is also dangerous. The ability to quickly look at products and buy things with the click of a button can be addicting.

Yeah the shopping "experience" on amazon is horrible.

However, I don't think I have used an amazon product where the UX wasn't a mess...
