Btw this dude didnt send his piss to everyone. The only shipping orders he filled was for his friends ordering it to see if it would work. Other people also bought some, but the guy didn’t ship it, because that would be insane.
The insanity is not that they did it, it’s that Amazon allows it. It’s not like they were actually trying to sell urine, they just wanted to point out how fucked amazon is.
with very few checks and balances in place to ensure the product he’s selling is safe and legal. “Releasing the drink was surprisingly easy,” Butler told WIRED. “I thought that the food and drinks licensing would stop me from listing it, so I started it out in this Refillable Pump Dispenser category. Then the algorithm moved it into drinks.”
It’s almost like people expect that the things for sale are legal and safe, without first having people get harmed and having to report it.
I did read it. My point is that it’s not like Amazon specifically supported this. Someone could pull this same stunt on eBay; would eBay then come under identical fire?
I love this show for the fact that at one point, this guys water is actually used as a solution for some random problem. None of the nonsense is left as just nonsense, it is all part of the world.

Only slightly more insane than putting it up for sale in the first place.

Would everyone react the same way if this were eBay?

It’s not like Amazon has a category for “bottled urine.” Was it left up after it was flagged?
You could read the article, it was a drink.
