AliExpress has all the same cheap crap as Amazon, except cheaper.

It's a great pity Audible is under the Amazon umbrella because I'm hooked on that.

That's what I mean! These days you browse Amazon and it's just a bunch of the same stuff you can get on AliExpress, but with a massive markup.

There are alternatives to Audible. I have been using AudiobookStore.com. There’s also Libby and others.

Yeah, buy from AliExpress is good if you search right! Many things from there are crap, indeed, but many others are pretty good!

Makes sense. We despise Amazon for their abusing people, so instead we choose to buy from... The Chinese Communist Party!

[FredPret → smsm42]

Amazon’s products are sourced from there anyway.

Next time you buy something on Amazon, search it on AliExpress. You’ll likely find the same thing for 0.1x the price, but with a long lead time and minimum order quantity.

Some are, sure. And if you prefer Ali because it's cheaper, sure, why not. But if you plan to make a grand stance about how you're making a moral choice against Amazon, Ali, owned by the CCP member, does not exactly fit the mold of better moral replacement.
