yup we're seeing product teams getting shit on all over every product space if they're not core. Amazon did the same thing to their UI/Search team with their sponsored results that turned web/app search into a massive clusterfuck of unrelated "Promoted" items


And that is why I buy less and less on Amazon. If I don't have an exact product number, searching on Amazon is a painful waste of time.

So I search on Google or eBay, find a product number, run a search in Amazon. Until a few years ago, that resulted in a cheaper price but now more often than not, Amazon is not the cheapest (even accounting for shipping); and increasingly they are no longer the fastest either.
