 @17044452 It's a cycle at this point.
1. Chinese manufacturer releases new product on AliExpress
2. Dozens of "entrepreneurs" purchase it in bulk and ship it directly to an Amazon warehouse
3. They list the product at 1000% markup
4. They progressively under-cut and out-boost each other until the product is no longer profitable to sell
5. Rinse and repeat 
 Going through the queue of applicants for a senior software development position and there are a surprising number of people applying who have zero years of experience.

Bonus points to the person who typeset their resume with LaTeX though.
