Even when you *want* to see advertisements because you *want* to buy something "the internet" has become enshittified beyond belief.
It used to be:
(1) Google search for what you wanted to buy
(2) Google points you at manufacturer's or retailer's web site
(3) Buy it
Now that Google search has become so ****ing useless it seems to have to be
(1) Amazon search for what you wanted to buy
(2) Doesn't have the size/colour/whatever you want (their filtering is crap), but at least you get the names of some brands who might sell the sort of thing you're after
(3) Find the web sites for the individual brands / manufacturers
(4) On each one, see whether their full range (which Amazon never sells) includes the size/colour/etc combinations that you want
(5) If you're lucky, one of the several web sites you've now searched will have what you want
(6) Buy it
Why is "the internet" making it *harder* to spend money? Where's the logic? Who benefits?
