I'm not generally one to go in for conspiracy theories. However there's one sub that I have suspicions about.
Aliexpress is a Chinese marketplace that sells Alibaba stuff B2C. If you live in the US, and have the world's best ecommerce site on your doorstep (Amazon), count yourself lucky that you never have to order from this cesspool of misery.
Because most ordinary consumers are enraged by things like non-existent customer service, /r/Aliexpress has been host to a number of discussions recently about how .... terrible the website is.
A number of accounts rush to defend it and I do wonder whether it's beyond the realm of possibility that it could be some attempt at damage mitigation. The only good thing about Aliexpress is that it's cheap and has a large inventory. Anybody who defends bad selling practices there ... I have a hard time comprehending their motives.

A ton of stuff on Amazon is just dropshipped/upsold crap from Alibaba/AliExpress, so dunno why you think Amazon is much better, it's the same merchandise with a markup.
