Weird, I didn't think it was 4 minutes to say "we used our eyes and watched the videos."

For posterity, in case the account gets removed or deleted now that the point has been made. I posted before the account was marked as an impersonation.

A well done fake of Paul Frazee one of the leads on the Bluesky team with the domain appearing to be paulfrazee.com. When taken the moderation team had finally marked it as an impersonator but (I hope) it's left as an active account.

I'm sorta not surprised that, at least at launch, Amazon seems to have just hastily thrown something together and missed: - This wasn't going to be in a vacuum and will be evaluated next to Amazon itself. - "Cheap stuff from China" isn't actually the entire pitch of sites like Temu.

"The problem is the product selection, which isn't really differentiated from Temu—or even a lot from what Amazon already sells on its regular site.<highlighted> Sometimes, the prices are actually a little higher on Haul than on Amazon proper. </highlighted>"

"Some of the household items on Haul aren't exciting—Amazon: A 6-pack of silicone reusable food storage lids on Haul was $3.99. There's a similar item on regular Amazon with two-day shipping for $3.97. (Because stuff on Haul is coming directly from China warehouse—its shipping is slower, with an estimated 1-to-2-week delivery timeframe.)"
