    Bit of a waste of computing/developer/bandwidth resources

    You know when we're approaching peak dystopia when significant resources are dedicated to advertising. There really is only so much product you can shift, partly because people only have so many needs and partly because they don't have the resources to pay for it, so continuing to devote more and more resources to trying to generate a market, to finding that 'lifestyle' key, is just an exercise in tail chasing.

Now instead of paying for access to a stock image library and hoping someone has enough Photoshop skill to make it look decent, or posting those images with tons of badly translated text that are an obvious tipoff that it's trash, they can just click a couple buttons and hey presto! Totally Legitimate Product, honest!

    So well done to Amazon for more easily facilitating consumer deception in favor of their own profits, I guess.
