Aliexpress search is just the worst in that regard. "Hey I want to buy microchip X123457" - "Sure, here are some other totally different chips and a few iPhone cases for you".

Without site:aliexpress.com and search engines I would never find anything on there.

Not to mention that it changes the actual results if you decide to use any of its shitty filters or even order by price. Like, if your search result had 4 pages and you order by price, suddenly it's now 2 pages. My bet is shady assholery to fuck with sellers that aren't paying enough, much like Amazon

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
