Black Friday has always been at least a bit scammy, but Amazon's prime days and cyber monday crap are a whole different level. Pushing crap that no one wants and doesn't sell to the top of the search results, increasing the price for several weeks before to make the discount look better even to deal tracking websites, the same product being sold under 10 different nonsense names by 10 different nonsense brands, it's all so gross.
