A critical component of being able to change high rates for sponsorship is to not show people precisely what they’re looking for. Also, once people find what they’re looking for they stop looking which reduces ad impressions.

Amazon are just in the exploit stage of the build-exploit cycle and are making so much money doing it I doubt they’ll stop.
