CheapGuilty™ is an Amazon feature that will not let you set filter "high to low" based on your previous purchases if they noticed you like cheap products and will permanently set your filter to "low to high".

the search in amazon is so bad that you sometimes need high to low: some searches get you so much cheap unrelated trash, you have to sort high to low, and page down so you find the actual cheapest match quicker.

Default sort: 237 matches

Sort by price (either way): 17 matches

So uhhhh.... What happened to the other 220 results?

Amazon search is trash and you might as well google it like you had to do with reddit search.

The best thing is, if you sort low to high, after the 2nd or 3rd page it just completely breaks and starts showing items randomly.

Amazon's search is the worst. It doesn't really matter what filters you use, they are only going to show you what they want to.

I want one that has the dog from duck hunt pop up and laugh when you buy a cheap piece of shit from China.

What pops up in the other situation? When you buy an overpriced cheap piece of shit from china?

Bezos flipping you off as he rides from the bottom to the top of your screen in a rocket.

If you set the filter high to low you can choose the right amount of cheap.
