Omnimater, in The Coup of /r/AssholeDesign

Wow what a power trip for what exactly? If he’s not even actively involved what does he want it for?

sebinspace,

Let’s be honest, everyone here is on a power trip if we’re using the word “coup”

taigaman,

What word do you think would better describe the situation?

bloodtide, in The Coup of /r/AssholeDesign

I just posted a link to this on the sub for shits and giggles expecting it to either not work or get banned within minutes. Nope, it’s there and people are pissed. Guess he’s not even nodding his newly stolen sub

It’s already gathering up a storm of people angry about the change

burak,

Is it still there? I couldn’t find it. In the meantime, I posted this :D reddit.com/…/ads_that_look_like_tweets_with_minim…

SpaceNoodle,

It’s really flying under the radar.

This is like everywhere. Can't call them or email them. If your lucky you can fax. Nothing convenient to the normal person.

Insanity. In order to prevent any more of your data being collected by us, please provide literally every piece of information that can be used against you if it gets leaked.

BorgDrone,

In addition, it’s absolutely impossible to verify the authenticity of an identity document from a photo. It’s a completely meaningless request.

Should I just download a fake id and show it

BorgDrone,

Well, I don’t know how illegal it would be to fake an ID in this specific case, so I recommend you absolutely don’t go to PRADO, and certainly do not download a specimen document from there and photoshop it a little. That would be bad, so don’t do it.

Holyginz, in This PDF reader shows ads on the notifications tab

Anything that pushes ads as notifications gets immediately deleted.

glad_cat,

I thought that it was forbidden by both Google and Apple a long time ago.

Since they won’t be able to sell you loot boxes, chests or gold once you leave, they settle for selling your personal data to highest bidder.

Cevilia, in Starbucks notification settings — only 1: "promotions and order status"
@Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Back when Amazon Smile was a thing, I had Amazon notifications turned on (a prerequisite for earning charity donations), and had Tasker set up to automatically dismiss them so they wouldn’t bother me.

Bender_Rodriguez,

Huh. TIL that they got rid of Amazon smile. Ended back in February.

It only existed so they would get to stop paying google for click-throughs. They ended it because enough people use the apps or go straight to the website now. Was never about charity.

dragnet, in Amazon Checkout. This should be illegal.

I don’t understand why there is so much defense for this in the comments. Amazon is a huge company with professional design teams, if part of their checkout process is even a little misleading in favor of an upsell it is definitely intentional.

312,

Saying it’s a weak example of asshole design does not equate to defending Amazon.

It’s possible for Amazon to be extremely predatory and shitty, as well as this not being a very good example of how shitty they are, at the same time.

dragnet,

Possible yes, but does that really seem like reality to you in this situation? It doesn’t to me.

Uriel238,

Yes. That’s Amazon using dark patterns. This demonstrates that enshittification is not confined to social media.

Ooop, it may have happened even before Twitter, Reddit etc.

From Corey Doctorow: Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if Amazon’s enshittification is because [Jeff] Bezos was a cynic or because he sold out. Once Amazon could make more money by screwing its customers, that screw-job became a fait accompli.

Exusia, in Raising your price for prime day
@Exusia@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not sure I follow. The day before, it was over $40. It was dropped for prime day (I assume that’s the end of the graph - 39.59) and then 20% taken off as a discount. The $31 sale price is lower than both used and new. What am I missing here.

theUnlikely,

Agreed. It doesn’t look like anything fishy after deciphering the graph. The normal price is usually 39.59 and it was indeed 39.59 before the sale and it’s now 20% off for 31.67.

Hawk,

They did raise the price the week before. Maybe Amazon already has practices in place to stop fake price hikes?

0235,
@0235@lemmy.world avatar

A lot of these proce comparison sites are struggling with the sale, came camel camel has the same issues. It’s because the sale isnt universal, only for prime subscribers.

Is it 20% off it’s lowest price? No it isn’t. But it’s still lower than its lowest price.

Prices in Amazon fluctuate wildly. I have seen them be as much as 20% up or down in a matter of weeks.

Keepa is great for Amazon. I think the price jacking before promo is not allowed by Amazon you may be able to report it. But it will likely not do anything.

What’s keepa

It’s a browser plug-in that displays a graph of the price history for a given product right on the Amazon page. Great to know if it’s the right time to buy or if you should wait for the price to change. Amazon prices change daily, sometimes hourly.

It’s autocorrect. Browser plugin

You should have redirected your community somewhere else to begin with. It’s not your site. They make their own rules up. You played chicken with the Hoover dam.

Rekorse,

They took a principled stance it's no surprise they wouldn't break it without good reason.

And they did redirect people to Lemmy as best they could. I'm actually shocked reddit let them send those DMs with the Lemmy community in it.

EquipLordBritish, in Raising your price for prime day

This is why they got rid of price zombie

alynnetjes, in The Coup of /r/AssholeDesign

Great read thanks for sharing, and sorry for it happening.

Yes, and I think I noticed a fair few that have no data on camel³ but I know I've seen the item before. So, you can't see the history.

I don't buy anything on these sales unless I can see the history and it's a real cut.
