Always lookin out for us, thx Ryyaaaan! Muah! 🥰❤️
I left a 1 star review on a gaming chair. The company contacted me and offered me $50 to turn the 1 star review into 5 stars. I refused, took screenshots and told Amazon. Amazon deleted my 1 star review and banned me from writing reviews for accepting bribes. Thanks Amazon
must've been the AI. they're trying to eliminat the human element entirely
@@blue_sky_bright_sun7599 A website for AI by AI, right?
man, if you're going to get banned for it anyway, may as well accept the bribes I guess lol
Amazon makes money when people buy garbage products, why would they want to stop these scams? It’s not like you’re going to stop shopping on Amazon so they win either way.
Well obviously you're the problem. You're supposed to shut up and take the bribe so that Amazon keeps making money by selling WaySus brand crap!
You forgot the part afterwards where Amazon recognises you for the enormous chair enthusiast you are and fills your home page with new chairs for when you decide to treat yourself to another new chair to expand your chair collection
The ol "you have one, now do you need a lowkey HOARD of them?"
IKR!!! I just bought "x" and it's not an immediate consumable, not gonna buy another for years!
Bought a laptop and immediately Amazon recommended me another thousand of options that I could burn my money on, just in case that I hate money
Yes! This is fact!
I bought a Toilet Seat, 2 years ago. To this day Amazon spams me with "Here look at those other 158 Toilet Seats you would like!"
This reminds me of when my wife and I were looking at resorts for our honeymoon. A lot of the reviews left for the resorts were just people complaining about the airline as if the hotel owned the planes.
A round of applause for Captain Sensible! I often wondered if like, common sense is in fact a super power….
🤣🤣🤣
But, did she buy you that honeymoon trip, and did you love it?
It's annoying, the only time it was accurate was a stainless table when everyone said it came damaged, with every single brand, so I took the risk with the best rated brand and it came damaged lol.
It's the same on GrubHub and Doordash with people leaving a negative experience for a restaurant because of something the driver did

He missed looking at the Q&A section where the question says “Is this made from real leather?” And the answer is “I don’t have this chair, it could be. But I like the color.”
Q: "What sort of leather is this made from?"
A: "Yes, it's real leather. It feels wonderful."
Absolutely!
Spot on!
People see the question in their emails and think it's like a DM and they're being asked directly by someone.
He also missed where they put US and EU in the brand title even though it is located in Xiungshungdung, CN
"I don't know. I bought this for my husband and he loves it."
This reminds me of how people will review recipes and say “5 stars - can’t wait to make this looks so good” or “2 stars - I changed everything about this and it turned out terrible”
Recipe reviews are a sucking, swirling vortext of weirdness and stupidity. I love when its the opposite, they give it 5 stars but then talk about changing everything. So its actually terrible?
You may enjoy r/didnthaveeggs for that sort of amazing 2 star content
I never trust recipe reviews lol. Found one like that for these chocolate cookies and made them and me and my boyfriend/his family all three up after taking a bite because the cookies literally tasted so salty it was ridiculous 😅
@@Delihlah Did you maybe accidentally use salt in place of sugar? Can happen to anyone. :)
Man this is so true for literally every tech and internet service too..
5 STARS "They were super helpful with taking my money and giving me a router, been using their service for 2 weeks now and it's great!". Yes Karen thank you for your 2 weeks worth of ownership experience. Truly 5 star warranting insight. Helped me a lot.
This is scary accurate. Amazon used to be amazing for online shopping...now it seems I spend more time asking "is this a bootleg product?" and the classic "is this bootleg product okay enough to justify not driving the damn store myself for the real deal?"
lol i buy most items on amazon, or at least online somewhere but amazon for cheaper smaller items, because my local stores the items are usually worse quality and twice the price.
Yeah it's so bad now! Amazon is turning into a dollar store, it's so hard to find a name brand product unless you're searching for the exact product you want. It's irritating as hell! I wish they had a "name brand" filter so I don't have to gamble on zxytzpp brand whatever the fuck.
Actually i hope that people will get so mad they will go back to real life shopping with someone actually knowing shit about the products he sells and ready to give you some advice. The whole itnernet shopping just shows how stupid and wrong capitalism is. Every single good idea and concept gets destroyed by capitalism. I personally only order online specific product that i already know very much about. If i want something and dont have knowledge about the product or industry i go to some local store and let advice me. I check the average price on the internet and if its not like +50 % in local store i will buy it right there as a thanks for the adivce.
@@TurboGroszek1 So the person running the local shop is... participating in something other than capitalism? I think you meant to say Monopolies ruin everything...
@@ryanyoung1052 No but capitalism looks for the best way possible which for product selling is the internet at this moment and it exploits the idea to the point where everything turns into shithole. The person having his own local shop is doing the healthy capitalism. Big giants are also big problem but it doesnt change the fact that the trend of many bad practices for online shops are not only made by these giants but by everyone.
2015: "Why would anyone go to a brick and mortar store"
2022: "Why would anyone buy online"
Accurate anymore with much you can get scammed outta your money anymore.
Online you can't trust any of the reviews or products, all the conveniences are now inconvenient
Offline, the store holds you and your purchases hostage until you get a store card. You could come into the store wearing a shirt that says "No, I don't want a f***in' store card", and they'll still hassle you.
@@MegaManXPoweredUp not to mention if u want to put your reviews thats honest and say bad stuff about the company. u cant even keep it there lol
so true lmao
Living a couple hundred miles from the nearest city, in Alaska where prices are higher anyway, makes online shopping more convenient regardless 🤷
One star. "This product is great. Will buy again!"
4 Star: "Took a star off because it was very uncomfortable and snapped in twain after a week. Otherwise seemed like a good chair."
2 Star: "I wish I bought blue instead of red. Comfortable, solid frame, and is still in good shape after several years of daily use."
I saw a 2 star recipe review that said something along the lines of "I haven't made it yet, but I'm giving a 5 star review because I know it will be 5 stars"
There is so much wrong with that lol
Yeaah the guys who don't get the star system, rating 1 star but saying it's excellent

you forgot the ones that say:
"Haven't received yet but looks great"
Or, "If I could give zero stars, I would!"
Like it the FAQs answer: I don’t know sorry.
@@nonyab5640 Yes! I love how people think that the question is literally coming to them as an individual and they would be rude not to give an answer
or "was delivered fast, but i havent opened yet 5 stars"
Or the ones that give one star and refer to a completely different product
I also like the positive reviews that were clearly written for a different product, because Amazon has this handy feature that lets you change the entire product page and product category
This reminds me of that one time when I was going to buy my fig jam again and the page was for soap bars. My review was all about the sweet taste 😅
@@IRosamelia
🤣
Sometimes I think it is just because someone is that dumb because they'll have roughly 95% of the comments specifically referring to the correct product, then the rest are a couple people who are completely lost, and some which are too ambiguous to confirm or deny.
Sometimes I see people answering in the Q&A section and not understand that everyone automatically gets an email notifying them of a question then proceeds to get mad that the questioner doesn't realize how the question doesn't apply to them and then asks why the hell they are the ones being asked. 🙃
I bought a teapot on Amazon 2 years ago. There were multiple reviews in which people complained that it broke when they tried to boil water in it on the stove. This was a ceramic teapot. People were placing it on their stove full of water on high heat. There were multiple reviews complaining about this.
🙄 i don’t believe it. but, yeah, i do. 😬
The number of headset reviewers I've seen that bend and twist the headset and earcups to extremes "to test resilience" is too damn high.
oh dear lol teapot =/= tea kettle
This is a real thing in USA, many households do not have electric kettles so when they say a "teapot" they are looking for the type that is used to boil water on the stove which whistles when done.
@@needsanameedit4982 lmao, bunch of backwards cavemen. I live in USA and use the electric kettle to boil water for my teapot, and brew loose leaf tea. I find coffee disgusting. I feel like a stranger here
I love how chairs, doors, and cars all make almost the exact same noise when they break down in the Ryanverse.
Nah nah nah there are very clear differences for example a clank is much more serious than a clunk for a broken car but it’s the opposite for a truck
Next it’s going to be a leaky pipe and it’s still gonna make the same noise
One is more of a yipyipyipyipyipyipyip, and the other is more of a yip yip yip yip yip yip yip
Well cars have chairs and doors so maybe when you hear the car break down it was the car's chair and door breaking down.
No you see very big difference, some chairs say “ebibbibibi” while most cars say “oy-oy-oy-oy-oy”
You forgot, “Hey Amazon, can I just look at you least expensive chairs first?”
“Sure, here is one replacement screw that goes to a very expensive chair. That’s what you’re looking for, right?”
"You wanted a mug that looks like a lazyboy?"
This is so true, its impossible to scroll products in order of least price, as it will give you a hundred pages of spare parts of the thing you want to buy.
I literally went through this process when buying a computer chair. Ended up going to a box office store and tested them out and bought the floor model 😄
Honestly, that's my plan. I rolled the dice once on a chair and exercise bike. Never again. Floor model or nothing
Ah, I researched heavy duty chairs that specifically guaranteed to hold fat people. Secret Lab. Expensive, but does its job.
Same. I then posted a review for the chair under its listing on Amazon.
i almost bought a couch on Amazon thank god i wised up and went to the brick and mortar store.
Amazon used to be a reliable place to find cheaper deals on things you could find in stores, but two things happened: 1) stores started checking Amazon to adjust their prices and 2) sellers started figuring out which stores did or didn't matter in terms of price competition so they could raise prices.
It took me a year to notice that I was paying pretty much the same price as I'd get it as a Best Buy or Target or Home Depot. For obscure/niche products you often get waaaay better prices at specialty stores, but those stores are rare and infrequent and city folk rarely realize they exist.
Never mind specialty, i once asked my uncle for a common electronic circuit and he wanted me to find it online. Long story short, the online one available to him was over 10 times the price of the product. He doesnt know a electronics store where he lives.
Free shipping.
I don't have to waste hours wandering around.
@@youtubevanced4900 If it's something I only see myself buying once, maybe twice, then yes, the time and effort put into finding a local specialty store that may not even exist will not save enough money to match me earning money at my job, but if it's something I intend to purchase regularly, that time is an investment that will compound.
Context.
3: Amazon got flooded with cheap scammy Chinese products with a product page just good enough to look legit.
Even rare art supplies like lightfast quality colored pencils I was able to get much cheaper, even with shipping, than in my country. But the store I bought from raised their prices recently, that sucks. Was no longer profitable for them.
"That's Amazon's Choice, that one."
"What does that mean?"
"Aeeehh..."
Every point hits in this one but for some reason that's the one that destroyed me.
Couldn’t agree more 😂
It means "we got too many of this stuff and need to get rid of it". 😅
Doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad product but it also definitely doesn't mean it's the best.
@@sylverscale True, I've bought 3 Amazon Choice products and 2 worked pretty nicely, while the last only lasted 2 weeks.
I think the last amazons choice thing worked great, so I geuss it's hit and miss.
Yeah that Amazon Choice is pretty shady business. Literally saw it on game merchandise with reviews showing it's fake and including photo evidence.
The questions about the product are also always like:
"Does this product have this and that?"
-"I don't know, product hasn't arrived yet."
Was this answer helpful? Yes/no
I know, I see that all the time! My favorite is when the answer is "I don't know, I never bought this product"
I always picture some wholesome old lady just earnestly trying to answer everyone's questions as honestly as she can
@@deadsirius3531 that perspective makes me feel much better about seeing those "amswers" lmao
No
People acting like those questions are directed solely at them
@@uhohhotdog Yeah, they finally added a button in the email for "I don't know the answer to this question" so that you don't answer a question with "I don't know" so Amazon doesn't stupidly think it's been answered. Clever but not sure on effectiveness
What I really hate about Amazon is how when you specify a name brand product they'll try and direct you to a low end knockoff instead, frequently with the actual counterfeit brand name much less visible than the name brand product it's "compatible" with. There's generally a reason why I'm specifying Stihl or Shimano or whatever brand it is that I'm willing to pay more for.
Actually they practice “mingling”. They “mingle” articles with the same SKU, whether they come from the official provider or from “resellers”. So if you buy a DELL screen, well, it could be a knock-off as long as the knockoff prints DELL on it and the same reference number.
It’s probably illegal but no country wants to do a trial to Amazon.
It's gotten to the point that Amazon is greedy and companies with legit, in-demand products refuse to sell on there. So they try to suggest a cheap knock-off. I noticed this a few years ago and adjusted my purchasing behavior. Since you mentioned the cycling category, I was looking for a really high-end pair of cycling shorts a couple of years ago where quality was way more important than price, and I knew not to even bother looking on Amazon.
Leaving a 5 star review for this product was super easy, barely an inconvenience. 👍
Sounds vague 🧐
This episode is great. My husband loves it. I haven't seen it yet, but it looks great. Will definitely watch again!!

This episode was terrible. My phone fell in the toilet last month and now it’s really hard to hear anything on the speaker. I only enjoy videos now that don’t really require you to know what is being said so this was really boring.
"Roll the dice!" Perfectly encapsulates how I feel buying things online in general.
Even AirBnB. We put so much effort into choosing one and in the end it sucks half the time.
I mean kinda the same IRL TBH because everything is in a box anyway...
@@cenciende9401 Well, not everything. Furniture, cookware, hardware goods, watches, phones, clothes, shoes, books, exercise equipment, etc. All these things have examples in the store that you can see and touch for yourself. It's easier to judge quality that way for me.
true
at least I just could go in the store and - oh wait I don´t have the papers for that
@@stadthaus.7266 Are they doing that, now?! Ah, my condolences, dude. I live in Japan, so shots aren't mandatory here.
I love the brand name "WaySus". Brilliantly thought up. Ryan has managed to create a name that sounds exactly like a genuine Amazon nothing brand while also incorporating some excellent wordplay. He is a true comedic genius.
I had spilled liquid into a power strip and figured I'd buy a new one on amazon. Sorting by 1 star reviews was quite the ride. Finding one that didn't catch on fire ended up being the goal lol
People always post whenever something goes wrong, but rarely when it's good. They get so happy and satisified that they forget about leaving a review. It's the same thing outside of amazon, like for gaming pcs, someone always says their pc came broken, or stopped working after a few months.
“Cheap plastic. Chair broke when I jumped on it.” just killed me.
The chair, too.
I like "1 star. Was going to give it 5 stars but chair is made in china and they don't tell you!!!"
Boyo if the pidgen english, AI-generated company name, and the references to Shenzhen don't clue you in I don't know how to help you.
You always have to wonder about the bad reviews. What did they do to destroy the product?
I bet it was a bad guy and he actually did a backflip on it to save the day.
I actually read this exact review for the mesh chair I currently have. It's an often on sale budget chair for $150 that isn't perfect but hasn't given me any problems even when my fatass is 20lb over the max rated capacity, and I've had it for like two years.
Here is the review, paraphrased from my memory.
"My grandson was jumping and being rough with this chair. He's a big boy, but I wouldn't have expected the leg to break like that! I can't believe how cheap this is." 1/5 stars
5 Stars.
I showed this video to my husband and he loved it.
Ryan needs to find this one
Well played
You just made me think back to the time when youtube had star ratings... Man everything was so much nicer back then. Not as high production value, but I didn't see any ads in the video, nor sponsors, I didn't get asked to like & subscribe, the dislike (or 1 start I guess) wasn't hidden, they didn't try to push a bunch of cooperate stuff or stuff for whatever group the current month was celebrating, they didn't force features I don't want (like that dumbass mini player)...
Just miss the golden age of the internet before everything got cooperate, and algorithms started knowing me better than I do.

I was just shopping for a pull up bar on Amazon and the top 5 star review was “I am very happy with this pull up bar. It is very stable and enough strong product. And easy assembling too.” -Christian J.
Very not suspicious 👍🏻
"I met my wife in this pull up bar. Highly recommended 5 Stars."
This one never gets old. And as for reviews, my (least) favorite is, "This looks great, and I'm looking forward to receiving it." Wow. Too bad there's not an Enthusiasm-Stars option.
I'll never get tired of the mirror Ryan George holds up to our society.
This is an underrated comment.
Good comment 5 stars
Well said. (just like Ryan George!)
@@Panurus_biarmicus this review gets 5 stars, very well said.
Preach the truth my man
It’s so true! Right down to the ludicrously named “companies” that are all peddling the same product priced differently for some reason.
Prices differently to give you a false dichotomy. If you see a few 400$ chairs and then the same chair 300$, you’ll instinctively want to buy the 300$ chair because it’s such a good “deal”, but it’s just the actual product price on the company website
They also have completely different reviews.
The true reason is: I decided.
Shadow labelling(forgot the specific term). It’s usually the exact same product being peddled by different companies. It’s sorta annoying, since even Amazon does it and sometimes the products do look a bit different, but really are just the same. So you either find the original or find the best of the clones.
One costs $29.99, the other costs $27.54 somehow and another one costs $33.00.
While I like Ryan’s humor, I’m more impressed with how creatively he conveys truths.
Ooh! I'm a narcoleptic silver tabby. Nice to see you!
@@morebirdsandroses1 star. This cat stopped breathing when I jumped on it
So damn true. One of the reasons I consider Amazon to be overvalued and they should urgently begin to give customers proper information and weed out rubish offers. Otherwise Amazon will soon be nothing but a global online platform for third party rubish sales.

Back then we could jump on chairs and expect them to not break
@@aravindkm2012 tbf it shouldn’t break after a single jump
back in my day of 1998 BC we never worried about chairs breaking. Our stones were solid and lasted generations!
Even more confusing on amazon is when people say "This product was fantastic I couldnt possibly like it any more than I do" - 2 Stars
We get bullshit comments like that on our surveys at work, "Love shopping there! Greatest store ever!" - 3 stars. "Nobody can be perfect all the time" - 4 stars. "Shopping at your store has replaced God in my life, you are the best at everything forever!" - 1 star.
BTW, those were all actual comments.
i'd guess 2 possibilities, they misclicked/wrote in the wrong box. Or they were being sarcastic
“That one has a back story…kind of”. That did make me laugh
I bought this for my husband and he loves it is the most infuriating review. If you’ve ever bought running shoes online the website reviews are so annoying like 95+% of the reviews are either “I bought these for my husband and he loves them” or people who are just wearing the shoes around the house and have never run in their entire life.
Ofc whoever u bought those for wont tell you how horrible your gift is…
its so annoying too bc those reviews have hundreds of likes, but the actual helpful ones are no where to be seen
“This chair is great, multiple options, decent quality for the price and customer support even sent a replacement after I had issues with the lever”

I left a bad review on a book I'd bought for my kids. I didn't use any bad words or anything like that in it, my review just said something to the effect of "This book presents opinions and urban legends as if they are facts, and my kids are now dumber for having read it." Amazon not only removed the review because it apparently didn't meet their high standards, but every.single.review I had left for every product since 2007 or so. Nice one. So I cancelled my Prime account since they obviously do not value my input as a customer.
The massive multibillion dollar company doesn't... care? About customers?
I'm shocked. That's just so out of the ordinary. If there's one thing I expect from my corporate brands it's that they are just the loveliest sweetest entities on the planet.
I mean to be fair that review sounds kinda stupid. That's like buying a video game on Amazon and leaving 1 star because you didn't like the game.
It's the favorite book of Jeff bezos.
I got a hunting vest off Amazon that specifically said it was blood proof and would save your expensive hunting clothes from getting stained underneath it. It wasn't. At all. And my expensive hunting clothes got stained. Made a very detailed review about how it definitely was not liquid proof at all with pictures of my stained clothes. Amazon deleted it because there were blood stains in the picture. For a review on a blood proof hunting product. So it still sits at 5 stars "i bought this for my husband and he loves it."
Well that sucks
You forgot the end part:
"Do you want to subscribe to Amazon Prime?"
"No, thanks."
"Well, I think you kind of do. Here it is, added to your cart with the first month free. You're welcome!"

Ok, I've signed up for Amazon Prime. So, can I watch tv shows?
Nope.
Can I get free postage?
Nope.
What can I get then?
10% off your postage and packing? Maybe? If we feel like it?
Thanks, Amazon, I'll pass.
My favorite other thing is how they also sometimes just renew your Prime even if you told them to not renew. Always a fun surprise to wake up to less money than were expected to have.
Why wouldnt you use Prime? The few euros are easily recouped by the delivery fees, cloud provider costs and Netflix and/or DVD costs that I have saved here.

Sometimes I feel like even stores selling the same stuff under different fantasy names, like refrigerator SAMSUNG KG147...
I love the way you highlight the silly company names. What do these companies do? Throw scrabble letters in a bag and use whatever letters they draw in whatever order they draw them? I take it as a sign the company don't give a damn about their brand or their image.
It's a way for sketchy resellers to game the system. Getting access to the full suite of Amazon's seller tools requires registering a company with a unique name, so they just mash random letters together until they get a unique combination and use that. These "companies" don't care about their brand image because they don't make their own products and they're relying on SEO and fake reviews to sell things. They're just buying cheap wholesale crap from China and selling it at a huge markup
Well when all you're doing is reselling a white-label product, why would you care?
@@TheQuark6789 It was an observation, not an indication that I care.

As much as I love the whole video the chair going "Hebebebe"" several times as a sign that it's failing is hilarious beyond belief
Look up the clip by louis ck called "The Way We Talk (Hilarious)" it's about using the word hilarious and you definitely need to hear it.
@@510tuber sounding a lot like one of those Amazon reviews.
@@AdamLMore i got a Louis CK dvd for my husband and he loves it
@@Info-eh4tv What kind of leather is it made from?
It’s Ryan’s favorite sound effect. I’m pretty sure that’s what it sounds like when his car is failing.
"Waysus" is still one of my favorite Ryan George jokes
The four star review not explaining why it wasnt five stars was the most accurate one for me😂
As someone who recently had to return a very bad gaming chair that was the exact same model 15,000 times on Amazon, yeah this checks out
I feel like there's a story behind this
@@renkyrie somebody died on it, took 4 days to find the body.
Gaming chairs in general are bad.
@@renkyrie they jumped on it
To be fair, I bought that product for my husband and he loves it.
"That's the same chair"
"No no no, it's not, you're stupid"
I've been looking for a new office chair all weekend and this is EXACTLY how I felt... still haven't found a chair
If you're still looking might I suggest Crandall Office? They do re-manufacturing of chairs like Steelcase Leap V2s and such. I got one about two years ago and would never go back to a "gaming" chair like my old dx racer.
When I need something new I search up what multiple people rate the best options and then look up those specific items and the websites they are sold. I got a really nice chair by using this method
Just, like, go to an office depot, find the chairs and test them out. easy
I got one from IKEA a year or so ago.
It's still great, but if I had the opportunity I would get one with a mesh seat.
Foam is comfortable, but the case around it is such a pain to clean...
Mine shrunk, so now I can't close the zipper
I spent ages looking and the end result seemed to be just go with the two popular Ikea ones (marcus and jarvfjallet). They were always the consistent recommendations across the world, and I'm pretty happy with the jarvfjallet a few months in. That being said there's way fewer options here in Australia, some other popular recommendations had to just be scratched off the list.
Lmao I'd give this a hundred thumbs up if I could, so true.
Amazon has absolutely gone to the dogs these past few years. Everyone abusing the systems and amazon doing nothing about it. It's turning into a complete mess.
they were customer friendly until they controlled the market, now they don't need to do that anymore and most of us still buy from them due to lack of alternatives (and there are many things that are quite hard to find offline).
@@tja4379 I've discovered that if you can figure out a good company, you can often order directly from them. They will, of course, not be on Amazon at all..
The "I bought that product to my husband and he likes it"
Never gets old
Using any website in the Ryanverse seems like a death sentence to introverts. Forced to have full conversations to do literally anything.
Not all introverts hate social interactions. In fact, most of us don't. Just in a limited amount and then need alone time to recharge.
Can't really trust that newfangled HTML
Somehow all Ryan's
@@floydlooney6837 yeah if I'm not giving my credit card information face to face while saying it out loud to a person with Ryan George's face on them, then I'm not doing it at all. Damn untrustworthy technology.
Being an introvert does not mean you can't have a conversation in order to buy a product. It just means you are a more reflective person focused on your internal self. Even the most introverted person is still capable of social interaction and most likely enjoys it in moderation.
If you can't even hold a simple transactional conversation without freaking out, then you have severe, crippling social anxiety and need help ASAP. Whereas being an introvert is just a personality type and not a disorder.
People who respond to questions on Amazon pages with "sorry I don't know" tickles and infuriates me in equal measure
I searched the comments specifically for this because I see it all the time and don't understand why people do it. It is harmful to my faith in humanity.
Amazon will sometimes send a question to your email if you’ve recently bought a specific product to get answers to the FAQs. I think some people genuinely think that they’re being specifically asked as an individual and responding to the individual that asked, not having an answer posted in a FAQ section. Unfortunately, if you answer the questions, you get sent more, hence seeing the same sort of nonsense repeatedly. Bless them.
@@jennv2948 Oh-h-h, now I see!
Sorry, I don't have an opinion about this.
So questions asked about specific products, such as "does this fit a ____?", or "can I use this ball point pen to perform a tracheostomy?", what other answer can you give, bit "I don't know"? "Yeah, I used 3 pens for that purpose just last week; worked great, and my wife bought them for me!".
This was too real to the point where I became mildy annoyed. Was reminded why I almost never shop online. Well done. Great video when you can bring up emotions in people like that ahaha. XD
Don't forget the company names that sound like they are from a specific non-Chinese country but it's all a ruse and they are also a Chinese company. They are ALWAYS a Chinese company.
Wonderful episode! Five stars!
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐
My uncle died while watching it. Great video though
Almost accurate, you're disclaimer should be complete denial. None of the reviews admit to being paid for them.
I watched this episode for my husband, and he loves it.
Episode broke when I jumped on it. Husband loves it though.
“the 5 stars reviews are fake and the 1 star reviews are insane”
I’m not an English Amazon user but it’s soooo accurate in my language too. There must be some universal problems there.
Italian Amazon is the same can confirm
@@riffrff I’m Japanese. It’s crazy how this happens regardless of language and culture.
I looked at google map reviews for apartments recently and was convinced I was going to be murdered anywhere within the state I moved to.
@@GnarledStaff It’s equally possible that they were telling the truth or just being paranoid. Maybe we should roll the dice
Sure, there's a problem. The thing they all have in common is that it's Amazon. People respond to incentives, and Amazon's incentives for reviews give us... this.
They register different brand names so they get discounts on Amazon fees when they sell. When you register in the US, your brand name has to not be similar to others so it’s often just a rando collection of letters. So the brands mostly don’t really exist outside of Amazon
Very accurate. I actually left a review that said, “Bought this for my dad and he loves it.” 😂
We are slowly learning that Frederick Noisemaker wasn’t doing random noises, but was actually accurately imitating real world objects
Man when you said “the chair broke when I jumped on it” I couldn’t stop laughing.
Two stars the laptop worked great until I spilt my coffee on it now it will not turn on!
Loving the Among Us name of Way Sus for Amazon's recommended. Couldn't agree more of some of their selections!
Don’t forget “Great USB drive, lots of capacity and very fast” on a chair review-I.E. from when sellers change an existing listing to flog some crap based on the good reviews of a good product that was there before.
Don’t believe me? There’s a few lightning port splitters like this (generally they’re all crap) including one that used to be my Dashcam.
can't tell if ryan added in the subtle wind effect to mimic the void of space you enter while shopping on amazon or not
hi there!
@@rubycraft673 no
I don’t know.. would be funny though 😂
I feel like I've bought something from both Floorgoo and Remplo.
Indeed this is true
Only missing the "5 stars, chair looks awesome, can't wait for it to get here" reviews. Overall, it's spot on. Fake reviews, people not comprehending the difference between rating the product and the vendor. At some point society might just have to accept that certain services should be placed behind a mandatory IQ test or at least a topic related quiz.
Rate this review. Was it helpful?
@@davidwuhrer6704 That's a start, then again someone who would write "good" as a review will also be asked, if they thought the review "Good product" was helpfull and they are probably gonne think it was.
@@davidwuhrer6704 The problem with that is that it's people who haven't bought/gotten the product who rates the reviews.
A five star review stating that it's a good product might be very helpful or completely misleading.
@@volundrfrey896 Simple. You got to be able write a review ONLY after you receive the product (why would it be otherwise!?)
Don't forget companies reusing listings for new items. All the reviews are real but for a similar but slightly different item.
And there's no way to report this to Amazon unless you buy the item, even though it's obvious from just reading the page.
bought a mother board that was "renewed" once. Of course the motherboard arrived with no packaging, was beat to hell, and had thermal paste all over it. left a poor review for the QA of amazons refurbished product (sold and shipped by amazon btw) and got an email saying they were not going to post review because it was negative toward the seller. Something tells me that might not be legal but its amazon so good luck with battling that out.
As someone who recently spent a lot of spare time searching online for a new office chair this hit all too close to home.
I was actually expecting him to try to buy the chair only for Amazon to tell him it's sold out lol everything else spot on and hilarious as always!
Usually Amazon is pretty good at not suggesting you sold out things, but that's me, maybe Amazon just likes to suggest you sold out things.
@@RGC_animation i honestly think amazon takes pleasure in suggesting me sold out stuff
he didn't get the reviewer who takes a ton of photos and video of the product
@@legendaryvicius I've literally never encountered this in over nine years of buying hundreds of things off Amazon.
As someone who works at Amazon I find this hilarious. Never trust Amazon's choice
I own Amazon, I verify this comment.
I own the Internet. I approve these two comments.
I own these 3 people. Don't trust their comments, they just want attention.
_he was later found tied up in a Amazon sweat shop_
I own comments. I can confirm this.
Hits a nerve. Amazon needs to do something about these Chinese fake companies whose products have swarmed its market. I don't like buying things over Amazon anymore
I just love my Gremplo brand Gaming Chair - Adjustable Ergonomic Office Chair with PU Leather, Computer Chair with Lumbar Support & 180° Recline, Easy to Assemble & Comfortable. 5 out of 5 stars.
This is so ridiculously accurate. It takes me entirely too long to buy anything off Amazon and I feel scared and uncomfortable the entire time
Same! I miss brick and mortar stores for clothing for this exact reason. You can’t try it on so deciding if it’s worth a shot takes so long!
@@courtney-ray i mean... Just go to a physical store, they do still exist 🤨
@@courtney-ray The SOP is to order everything that might fit, then send back what doesn't. Same as you would in a store, except with postal delivery.
same, always read the negative reviews and they always freak me out. But then if a product has no negative reviews I'm suspicious. I never had these issues shopping at Target. LOL. It's why lately I prefer real stores and actually seeing the product.
That's why I don't do it. That and the fact that shopping there is not compatible with my morals.
(That sounded like a weird brag, but I think most people don't want underpaid workers to piss in a bottle just so their juicer arrives in time and for $6 less than with another service 🤷it's just that changing habits is hard)
Nailed it. Fake companies bribe you into leaving 5 star reviews. That actually happened to me. I turned down the bribe and left the review as is. I value honesty over being paid off.
One company bribed me with 3 of the product. I sold out. Im ashamed of my greed.
can't you get paid and delete the review afterwards?
@@Chrono_Mitsurugi And did they actually give you three of the product?
Yeah they offered me a gift card and I accepted it and then changed my review to include the fact that they're trying to bribe people.
It doesn’t really matter. A company bribed me with a 1/3 back money coupon for a five star review and I gave it a four star just for that. I reported them to Amazon and told people to watch out for that. Year and a half later nothing was done and the company is still doing the same thing more than likely.
So yeah, my advice is to just get that coupon or giveaway they’re giving you. Amazon clearly doesn’t give two shits and people don’t care as long as what they get work.
“Four stars. Chair look *G O O D*
Wow you know this guys a boss when you happily watch the ad and it's basically a legit comedy sketch.
The only thing missing from this is all the 'sponsored' items that have next to no connection to anything you searched for!
Like this video, which popped up when I was searching out a video on the Superman: Red Son storyline.
I was recently searching for an office/gaming chair, so this one hit wayyyy too close to home
The only thing missing is the question section, where someone asks "I'm tall and heavy, will this chair support me?" and the answers are "It's fine for me, I'm small with average weight" or just "don't know, I bought this as a gift for a friend"
Don't buy gaming chairs. Lower quality and much more expensive than decent office chairs. Like everything with gamer in name.
Or, "I don't own this, so I don't know." 😬
Ryan George -telling it like it is since 2015. That may not be the year he started but its an easy to name year I've decided 😂
3:30 I take those deals when I think product is actually good. That's the equivalent of a rebate for me.
I was in tears laughing at this; I've experienced all of that. And I ended up just going to a brick and morter store to get an office chair, because the online reviews just drove me insane.
Totally! I got so pissed off with it, just went to staples, sat in a chair, liked it and bought that! Amazon actually drove me away 😂😂😂
barbentron 😂
Well, your name is crazylady so that backs up your story.
There are some things you should NEVER buy online - like shoes, chairs, guitars, etc.
Yup, same. Bought my chair at staples and was so happy I saved hours of time wasted on Amazon reviews!!
Hello, it's me, the Adstronaut. I bought this space suit for my husband and he loves it.
I have no idea why but when he said
"The chair broke when I *jumped* on it"
I burst out laughing 😂 😂 😂
I for one would like a chair that can tolerate being jumped on.
This is my favorite video on all of CZcams, aside from maybe the Star Wars Holiday Special Pitch Meetings.
I just come to watch this every once in a while because once you’ve seen it you have to keep watching it.
Five stars.
I bought this as a gift and haven’t opened the box but my daughter loves chairs and she’ll probably love this one
i laughed harder at this than any of Ryan's others, and I really like Ryan. This is EXACTLY what shopping on amazon is like!
Our cutouts are on Amazon 😂
Amazon is useful IF you already knew exactly WHAT you want to buy and you only wanna find a source.
The best (/only good) kind of reviews is IRL conversations 👀
stop shopping with abusive companies
Also any app on an app store.
That was spot on!
That’s why I try to buy stuff in actual stores. I hate shopping online nowadays, I don’t trust the reviews at all. Also I don’t trust delivery services. In the past year 3 out of 3 of my orders got stolen by FedEx delivery drivers.
Also Amazon is a shitty company and Jeff is a trashy person, why does anybody still shop there?
You think you save $15.30, but in reality you lose hundreds or thousands.
Always enjoyable to rewatch 😂
i know that *”huebebebe”* anywhere.
