> the ideas that a featured product would be featured because it makes the company more money is in no way scandalous!
This is completely true for most retailers. In particular for in person sales where people can straight assume they are getting bullshitted to close the sale.
The disconnect comes from amazon’s relentless push for customer satisfaction, clear labeling of the promoted and sponsored entries, separation between popular choices and well rated products etc.
That’s a corner of shadiness where we don’t expect it, which ends in a shock.
