Wow, but no, utterly obvious and effectively no change to anything, since "customer product ratings" have been meaningless for essentially forever. But here we are.
This is from a garbage seller (tractor supply) I never buy from but refer to for "unreasonable price". Like amazon, this "unbranded" product costs less than a real one, so i'm using them for anti-shopping. This one (water tank) is $275, while an equiv. from a far-less-awful corp is $520. I'm buying the $520 item.
Shopping by primarily lowest cost is very 20th-century and partly how we have arrived here.

@tomjennings@tldr.nettime.org shopping by lowest price is a classic example of short-term thinking (which, come to think of it, is something strongly incentivized by capitalism)
