    Literally just did this to prove it to you. I searched for “Wireless phone charger”. Something that’s not technical, that most people with wireless charging have at least thought about buying. First page is shown here. Feel free to point out any brands that you recognize.

    I’ve tried 2 so far from amazon. Both garbage. 1 didn’t work out of the box and the other worked for about a month then crapped out. Amazon hosts just garbage now. I’ve gone back to buying from retail whenever possible.

    After about 12 results I finally get to a brand name one, the Apple wireless charger here. So, I guess what I’m saying isn’t that offbrands are bad, I love buying third party stuff and modifying it. This isn’t that though, it’s cheap knockoff garbage where they manipulate the rankings and put their crap above anything that might actually be useful. The site is so flooded with this crap that it’s barely usable for me. (You can see I’m using extensions to help try to adjust the ratings too, because they also flood the reviews with fake garbage)
