I know this is meant as a joke, but I have to say, it's incredibly hard to get proper audio equipment without paying idiot tax like crazy.

I want neither China crap, nor overengineered German CD shavers (those really exist, BTW), but just decent audio. If you look for reviews, everything under 2000€ is utter garbage, apparently, and you should be sterilized for even thinking about spending less than that. Or you go on Amazon and even a brick wall will have stellar reviews, because it sounds really awesome and even has Bluetooth!

Extremely frustrating. No middle ground.

Once I reported a listing, because it was initially selling something like hair clips, got great reviews, and then somehow changed everything to a BBQ Grill whilst keeping all the old reviews.

The listing was still up a couple of months later. Half five star reviews about some random product, half bad reviews about how the grill would randomly collapse or something.

I often see products with multiple different model options (for example, monitors) but most of the reviews are about the old models, essentially boosting their review count on day one with reviews from the past.
