I’ve coined a term that describes a new form of inflation that I call “crapflation.” If you buy things on Amazon you often now pay the same (or even more) for the cheapest import garbage. Essentially stuff that would be in a dollar store.

Part of the problem is fake reviews. Normally crap products have shit reviews, but this becomes unreliable when fake reviews boost crap products to 5 stars.

There is going to be a class action lawsuit on this eventually but it currently benefits Amazon so they don’t fix it meaning I cannot trust the reviews on anything anymore.
