  • Daily Beast

12/2/22

Tabloid (yellow) journalism is not new, and The Daily Beast follows the tradition. Unlike The National Enquirer etc., who combined late breaking gossip with nonsense, the Daily Beast appears to be mostly secondhand gossip and nonsense. It is choked with absurd allegations from "unnamed sources".
Tabloid newspapers will continue to sell, but they truly are junk, as there is no demarcation between fact and fiction.
I post this to let new readers confirm that anything you read in The Beast should not be presumed to have journalistic standard behind it, The Beast is essentially "click bait" that may be occasionally true.

Tip for consumers:
If you quote this as a "news source", you'll be laughed off the deck.

First, there is no way to leave feedback to Amazon for site improvements, and the site is very sloppy in site organization. Example: Cell phones are a popular item. Today, cell phones can offer up to 1 terabyte in storage, but Amazon only filters at 256 megabytes, that filter should be updated to filter for 512 and 1 tb memory, otherwise you are looking through hundreds of phones that are of no interest to you to find the one you want. Most other sites do a much better job of helping you find products.
Secondly, Amazon is horrible in managing "things" and "parts for things". Example: Look up "lawn mower" and you will see a list of lawn mower. Now filter "price low to high" and you get every part for lawn mowers in search results, like gas cap cover and fuel filters and will have to flip through thousand of items before you ever get back to lawn mowers. Yuck! Other sites offer much more customer friendly environments. For me, shopping at Amazon is too much of a hassle. When I do shop at Amazon, it is usually because of a third party reference to the item on Amazon, rather than I searched Amazon and found the product.
Thirdly, I have gotten some mis-shipments from Amazon. Their customer service is great, but should I get first shipments in the first place?
Fourth, their shipping policy is absurd. I don't like having to meet a dollar value for free shipping. Many competitors are free shipping even on small ticket orders
In summary, I think Amazon is outdated, and no longer a "state of the art" site. Their lack of a consumer feed back to" improve this site" shows they just don't care and are resting on their laurels. Amazon is "OK" for many. For me it's the site of last resort.

Tip for consumers:
Let customer service know you need input for how the site is managed, not just the merchants

Products used:
Corning ware, guitar which was mis-shipped and returned

Tinder used to be really hot. If you matched, you hooked up right away, banged your brains out, and that was it. Sometimes you'd find a keeper and that was even better. Now it's flooded with LTR types. Also, it's very poorly monitored. About half of the women say "I really don't use this site look me up on another site". Many of them point you to snap chat, or a rip off sugar daddy site. Tinder is OK, but weak management not monitoring content that directs to other sites has really downgraded the value of membership.
