Amazon is Stuffing Its Search Results Pages With Ads (recode.net)
If it feels like Amazon's site is increasingly stuffed with ads, that's because it is. And it looks like that's working -- at least for brands that are willing to fork over ad dollars as part of their strategy to sell on Amazon. From a report: Amazon-sponsored product ads have been around since 2012. But lately, as the company has invested in growing its advertising business, they've become more aggressive. See, for example, our search below for "cereal." The first three results, which take up the whole screen above the fold -- everything visible before you scroll -- are sponsored placements that appear as search results: Ads for Kellogg's Special K, Quaker Life and Cap'n Crunch. (It's similarly dramatic on mobile, where it takes up the entire first screen.) This is followed by a section featuring Amazon's own brand, 365 Everyday Value, which was part of its Whole Foods acquisition. Not until scrolling down halfway on the next browser "page" do organic search results -- non-paid, non-Amazon brands -- come up: Post's Honey Bunches of Oats and Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats and Frosted Flakes.
This has been going quite a while now.
But it getting to the point where ublock is having troubles with the page.

There's no hurricane coming where I am.
I agree 115%!!
That's why we're all here!
We're here to get news and updates on the weather, and math lessons!!!
Lighten up, Francis. It's just a hurricane and the people affected know what to do. The east coast of the United States has been hit by hurricanes for thousands of years and this one is no different; in fact, it's not even the largest to hit in living memory.
you walked into a physical store and bought products off the shelf but now amazon is stuffing ads in your face, literally stuffing ads in your face, and stuffing ads in your shoes and stuffing ads in your turkeys and stuffing ads in your pillows
stuffing ads, stuffing ads, stuffing ads, stuffing ads, stuffing ads
There is a fucking HURRICANE coming, why are we wasting time with this?
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/...
I know better than to take it's suggestion to "next time, just ask Alexa to order x" since whatever I've searched for is frequently topped by some cheap knockoff that's "sponsored". Does anyone who actually uses alexa to order stuff get that or what?
This will be interesting to watch. With general search, usage declines if relevance isn't kept high. If Amazon is showing irrelevant things for search results it may result in reduced sales. I have anecdotally seen some searches I have done recently showing up things that are pretty far from the specific thing I searched for. I imagine there is some inflection point where the advertising of brands against search terms becomes too much and sales drop. Easy enough for Amazon to detect though and then I imagine they just ratchet down a bit and hold where it is most profitable.
I use other tools to determine what products I'm interested in, then search specifically for them and ignore all the "sponsored" crap.
Buying tools & parts via amazon has become more difficult due to ads & poisoned search results, Searching by part # only, just the number, usually gets 1st find with wrong #. Correct # in 2nd find shows amazon intentionally poisons finds.
Trying to buy a $200 Tool while amazon tries to divert me to some $9 POS, has caused me to quit Prime.
You can't evacuate 30 million people you abject retard and hurricanes hitting economically depressed areas and flooding entire states means nobody in them has simple, cocksure retard contingency plans like you seem to.
Do I have time to stock up on cereal from Amazon? I'm a Prime member. kthxbye
If it's above the line - I ignore it. Same with the little 'Ad' icon in Google. I try to never click on the ad links - even if the ad and regular links are the same... skip the add and use the regular.
It is of course "a good thing”.
And there should be a "*” in front of "dons".
I am truly sorry, and hope ye can look past those ravaging thorns in ye eyes, revered reader of yonder scripture of mine.
If you have uBlock, and still see these, then google a solution to get rid of them with a uBlock filter
I'm not so sure I believe that, since nobody ever seems to take the warnings seriously and evacuate ... and then they're all complaining that it took too long for them to be rescued.
And then FEMA comes in and blunders around doing random shit trying to look like they're helping while trying to make sure they get as much press coverage as possible.
Honestly, I expect to see Trump throwing paper towels out into crowds again.
Me too. I'm safe in the wildfire/earthquake zone of NoCal. Still need that Amazon Prime cereal delivery though.
Landfall isn't until Thursday. As long as you ship overnight, you should be fine. I'm ordering plywood for my windows and a couple of board games. Shame on people who didn't prepare for the hurricane by signing up for Prime.
He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.
I've found the quality/ranking of amazon results to be TERRIBLE. I always do a google search when I want to find products on amazon.
Yes I am.
They should have their supplies already.
They spend a month down here reminding you to do it.
The millennial that doesn't like most of the stuff designed for millennials.
I pretty much only click ads for products I only wish I could buy, maybe if I win the lottery. Makes me a little curious what that does to their add algorithms...
Why the fuck should people across the country and around the world focus all their thoughts on this hurricane, over which they have absolutely zero influence.
Are you so fucking feeble minded that you only have space in your tiny little brain for one thought at a time?
This space unintentionally left blank.
Seeing as how every time there is a hurricane forecast to hit land in the US there are hardware stores out of plywood and generators and grocery stores out of bottled water and many food items and runs on gas stations, etc. I guess what you are saying is that they are all idiots. That actually isn't possible since the person of average intelligence by definition is not an idiot.
That's a non-sequitur. Shortages don't require everyone to be idiots; they only require enough idiots to cause a shortage.
Amazon receives 40% of online purchases and Bezos is supposed to be worth $159 billion and earns $275MM per day.
All of that has to come from somewhere, right?
You should prolly get some cereal too. Just saying. Survivors luv them some cereal! I can't recommend it enough.

Please explain to me how this is fundamentally different than physical retail stores which often place higher priced items and items they want to liquidate at eye level and at the end of aisle in their stores? Also it is not uncommon for major grocery chains to sell prime self space to specific companies or agree to a specific placement for price breaks on their bulk purchases.
"We" don't all live in the Carolinas, "We" don't all have skin in the game, "We" aren't all affected by it, and "We" don't all give a damn.
It may surprise you to learn this, but the world doesn't stop because there's a storm somewhere.
I've been to the Carolinas, nice place, nice people ... but my life is in no way impacted by this, and I'd rather every news source not be overtaken with breathless drama about things which don't impact me.
Did you run around shrieking like this when Japan was getting hit with a typhoon last week?
there are hardware stores out of plywood and generators and grocery stores out of bottled water and many food items and runs on gas stations, etc.
Obvious solution: Raise prices.
The higher prices will:
1. Ensure the products go to those that need them the most.
2. Penalize hoarding.
3. Eliminate queuing, so people can focus their time on other priorities.
4. Incentivize sellers to expedite new supplies so they can cash in.
5. Incentivize residents to prepare better next time.
Really?
Why is this even news that Amazon wants to sell you stuff?
It's not some secret plot. It's their whole raison d'etre.
If you don't want to buy stuff, don't go there.
Is that hard to understand?
I don't read your sig. Why are you reading mine?
Obvious solution: Raise prices.
The term for that is price gouging when it happens around the time of a natural disaster. Some price fluctuation is to be expected but there is a limit to what is appropriate.
The higher prices will: 1. Ensure the products go to those that need them the most.
Ummm... no. It goes to those who can afford them. Not everyone has an equal ability to pay and price gouging during a natural disaster is a dick move.
I tried to buy plywood and supplies on Amazon but I couldnt find any because of all the damn ads!
If construction was anything like programming, an incorrectly fitted lock would bring down the entire building...
Hi,
I loved the way you shared everything so well with us – the way you have gone about doing things – it’s surely an eye-opener for me and for many others too.
Thanks,
Let's Go
Newsflash! Guy who owns website likes making money selling parts of it. News at 11!
uBlock Origin hides the sponsored listings for me, and now that I've told it, will hide the Amazon brands too.
Just great. Fucking ads on a story about ads.
When you search for something so general like cereal then there are going to be a lot of sponsored items to go along with it. All of my searches are for something specific that I know I want and so the sponsored content goes down dramatically. Usually I see the top row of sponsored items and then search results start.
There is a fucking HURRICANE coming, why are we wasting time with this? This storm will be a Cat 5 blasting into the Carolinas with the force of thousands of nuclear bombs. Are there nuclear power plants that need to be secured? Chemical facilities? Low lying areas where people live, barrier islands, etc? Can we get started early on recovery planning, such as food, water, body bags, sanitation, etc? We shouldn't forget about the animals - we have a good amount of warning that we could be using to evacuate animals as well as people. We should take this as a call to action to accelerate global climate change amelioration efforts and a rapid transition to renewable and carbon-neutral energy as it is obvious to everyone that this monster storm is a direct result of global warming and is only the first of several pointed right at the US like bullets in the barrel of a gun. Up until now, much of the damage due to global climate change has been in faraway places like low-lying islands in the Pacific - this is climate change writ large, come home to roost. We all know that the greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere probably cannot be removed, but the least we can do is make a serious attempt to cut back on new emissions and we can and do have the technology to do it, we simply need to find the willpower. What we do NOT need is imbeciles like the current occupants of the White House doing things like this to actively make the problem worse but put a few extra pennies in the pockets of their big oil campaign contributors. This hurricane, which promises to be ultra-destructive as it barrels towards landfall and then stalls out over the coast due to changed weather and climate patterns needs to serve as a clarion call to arms for all climate warriors to remove by any and all means necessary, even force, people who are trying to destroy our world and our children's world. The time for action has come, and the time for discussion is over. We have tried reason and it has not worked because they will not listen. Nobody can say we didn't try.
I'm gonna study this paragraph and break out all your points into actionable line items and prepare for its arrival and shit the hurricane's up by Idaho already.
(-1: Post disagrees with my already-settled worldview) is not a valid mod option.
Not sure why this is a shock to anyone. Amazon is a retailer of products so I am not surprised they inject ads into their search results. I certainly get them on Alexa Echo and the world turns as always.
In my Californian home I have stored in my closet: emergency commode, 4 gallons of water, and vegetarian, non-dairy, gluten-free emergency food.

And then FEMA comes in and blunders around doing random shit trying to look like they're helping while trying to make sure they get as much press coverage as possible.
FEMA is not there to manage the entire recovery process. FEMAs job is to obtain resources (food/water, rescue workers, repair crews, etc), and get those resources to those who need them the most. It is the the job of the local government to know the community and let FEMA know what and where these resources are needed. The governor didn't even know how to contact each mayor, what hospital were open, where shelters were, or even what the heck he was doing; and it showed!
Go back and review the news, the people trying to get news coverage wasn't FEMA, it was the San Juan mayor who cried a swan song all the while in front of one of the few buildings with power/water/food. FEMA had supplies on the docks within a few days, the local government couldn't find trucks or drivers to deliver the goods; not until local truck drivers pounded down the governors door begging for routes. FEMA had rescue workers within hours of the storm passing, the local government didn't even know where to look and where to take people who needed aid. FEMA just finally found 6 trailers they gave to the government full of supplies, still loaded on the private property of a friend of a local official.
You want to know why PR is still in need, look at the government officials that were/are just looking after friends and neighbors instead of the entire community they represent. And yes, this is still going on which is why its still an issue.
... was supposed to have the result of me being presented with ads for items I am interested in. Here it looks as if Amazon is instead trying to trick its customers into buying something that may not represent what the customer is really interested in.
Cool story bro
unpreventable traffic deaths
If you think traffic deaths are unpreventable then you are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Traffic deaths are exactly as preventable as hurricane deaths. That is to say, 100% preventable if you take extreme, unrealistic and oppressive steps to override all other concerns; mostly preventable if people just exercise caution, preplanning and don't behave like idiots (but of course some percentage WILL behave like idiots if someone else doesn't take authoritarian steps to deprive them of the ability to make dumb decisions).
Some people will die as a consequence of not adequately anticipating the stupidity of other people, some people will die due to their own stupidity, and some people will die due to the fact that they made the reasonable choice to not go to the extremes necessary to guarantee 100% safety. Because the extremes necessary to absolutely guarantee 0% risks are unreasonably extreme and the percentage chance of being one of the unlucky ones is so low, it's reasonable to say that on a planet with the population of Earth a lot of people are going to die every single day and there just aren't enough minutes in the day to feel bad about every single person who came up on the unlucky side of long shot odds.
Idiot is greek, not english.
It describes a person who thinks and acts like they are more important than everyone else, even collectively.
Now I know why Americans don't want to use the word properly. They really want you to think it means "a stupid person."
Oh noes, you're being shown ads to buy stuff!
But wait, stupid, you're on a website that sells stuff. Unless you didn't already know what you wanted to buy, how could ads for other probably similar products be a problem?

brick and mortar stores does the exact same thing. they also have paid product placement and will place their own brands above others on the shelves. Quite a few displays at the front of the stores, at the register, end caps, or in the middle of the aisles are paid product placements whether it is through special discounts or payments. I really see nothing wrong with Amazon doing it other than it can be frustrating at times when looking for something specific and cheaper.
This isn't your mom and pop store "let's trade x of value X for y which is also around value X".
This is intentional and deliberate "psy-ops" NLP manipulation for the sole and exclusive purpose of stealing as much money as humanly possible from their victims, while giving as little of any worth back to anyone as is physically possible in this universe.
And even if what is actually fairly exchanged in a $999 sale, is about $9, then the other $990 of "profit" are still nothing other than pure THEFT.
Call it fraud, theft, daylight robbery, or whatever. It is criminal, and having criminals write "laws" that say it isn't, is like a liar saying he's not lying. It only adds to the crime!
Yeah, I do realize that that is utterly outside of the mentally processable world of the American mindset. I do realize that you consider profit to be perfectly all-right.
Well, it isn't. You just grew into it, and think it is normal, the way a rape child thinks it is normal to get it up the ass all day, every day. It's still literal stealing from you. A crime.
And no, you can also throw your American mindset of "free will" and "responsible for your own actions" in the trash. The brain doesn't work that way. We are nothing but machines acting based on external input biased by the accumulation of previous external input. That is what you and I are. That's OK too. But it's not like we are independent. Manipulating us for whatever purpose is almost trivial.
Obvious solution: Raise prices.
The higher prices will:
1. Ensure the products go to those that need them the most.
Lemme guess. Libertarian?
I white list a few places (like here) but, everything else gets run though a VPN, uBlock and Adblock pro. WHAT ads?
I see them all the time in listings on Amazon. I made a decision a while back NOT to buy anything that is sponsored, and not to click on ads on Amazon, or indeed in general.
Anyone wanting to take issue with this, any advertiser or person benefiting from advertising, if this pisses you off that there are people who are mostly if not entirely immune to advertisements, take it up with the fuckers who have for decades tried to exploit psychology and circumvent our ability to make economic and financial decisions for ourselves, by trying to get us to buy shit we do not need, cannot afford, and which are often designed with planned obsolescence so they fail to last as long as they could or even should, and who try to use a combination of exploitation and irritation to try to get us to prefer their products even when they are not distinguishable, let alone a superior value, to their competitors, and by often making claims that are somewhere on the truth-spectrum between wildly exaggerated and outright lies... they fucked it up for you, go bitch at them about the fact that I use ad-blockers and refuse to watch, read, hear, or click on ads.
PS... there IS an exception to my refusal to watch ads; being aware that there is a phenomenon of memorial decay, (I forget the technical term,) in which you can annoy someone into remembering something and then expect that over time, the annoyance will fade but the memory (recognition of, for example, the brand, name or logo, product name, etc.,) will remain causing their brand to be more likely to stand out, I make it a POINT when I hear or see a PARTICULARLY ANNOYING or OFFENSIVE advertisement, to make note of it, and I make it a point to remember how annoyed I am at them... I even have a file on my computer called Shit List, for companies, brands, etc., with whom I shall never again do business of any kind, lest I forget. Notable entries are ANY AD THAT REPEATS A NAME OR A PHONE NUMBER MORE THAN ONCE. You can give it, then repeat it at the end lest anyone missed it. You say it a third time, BAM, you go on my shit-list.
To avoid the list growing unnecessarily or obnoxiously long, I do not listen to or watch ads anymore.
The prevalence of the MUTE button implies, I feel, that I am not alone in this.
Again, if this bugs you, take it up with the abusive, obnoxious, makers of past advertisement who put me, as a consumer, basically beyond your reach.
You know, If I ever would have used your software, I wouldn't now because you're such a loony.
I just can''t trust my important data and PC security to a nutcase who:
1. Posts an ad in a non-ad forum - I HATE unwanted ads.
2. Replies to himself as 1st post after that, fake shilling yourself.
3. Waits for someone to react, usually negatively.
4. insults them for having the temerity to comment.
Nope, too crazy for me, thanks for playing!
Giant nothingburger...how is this any different from brands paying for preferential shelf placement in brick-mortar stores?

I never noticed the first page of ads because my blocker eliminates them. I do see the house brand first still, but that doesn't really bother me.

Everyone else who is likely to be severely impacted by this is taking action now, they are not posting / reading slashdot. I suggest you do the same.
It's called paid product placement. If Pillsbury wants their products at eye level at your local Kroger, they have to pay Kroger "slotting fees" for that prime placement. If they don't pay, their product goes to the very bottom or very top shelf, where it's hard to see and find.
So if you're looking for better prices, look high and low on the grocery store shelves.
Amazon is doing the exact same thing, but with virtual shelf space.
If any of you have a dream to dethrone Amazon, start today. Because this is how giants fall -- by failing the market that made them.
