Online shopping is Amazing. Or is it?
So many shower curtains! But with the endless choice comes
the risk of being fooled.

In our pandemic-altered 2020, it’s felt essential for many of us to be able to buy almost anything from home. One thousand varieties of shower curtains at our fingertips!

 

But being a truly informed online shopper now requires us to have an advanced degree in internet scams and the business of how products are marketed, sold and transported around the world.

 

This is a pattern with online news, entertainment, merchandise and more. Seemingly endless choice is amazing, but it has also introduced more confusion and the risk of being fooled.

 

I still think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, but I’m also tired from thinking so hard about buying a pressure cooker or whether that photo from a political protest is real or forged.

 

My exhaustion reached a peak in the last few weeks. I wrote last month about bogus reviews on Amazon, and now I find myself eyeballing every online review for clues that it was bought off. I’ve always been skeptical, but now I don’t trust anything.

[...]

Online shopping is a massive industry, complete with consulting companies that advise on fake reviews, software sold for people to spot and take advantage of price differences and towns filled with warehouses to repackage online orders. This is how shopping works now.

 

You can, of course, just click buy and be blissfully unaware of any of this. That’s fine! I know I’m that annoying person who screams “THAT’S A TRICK” when you’re just trying to order dish soap.

 

But also know that there’s a risk we might be persuaded by bogus online reviews into buying a bad product, or we might believe we’re buying something from Amazon and instead purchase a dangerous toy from a no-name seller. Or maybe we freak out about seeds arriving at home out of seemingly nowhere.

 

The risk of going astray isn’t confined to shopping. Behind the Facebook post at the top of my feed, the series that Netflix recommends and the headphones that appear in Amazon’s one-click ordering are often elaborate, financially motivated games to influence what we do.

 

This system of internet persuasion is not inherently bad, but it is helpful to understand how it works. It’s just that doing so is utterly exhausting.

RIO DE JANEIRO - The landslides that devastated Petropolis this week demolished houses and ripped families

apart, scarred hillsides and hearts, left at least 120 dead and nearly as ___________ missing.
And it ____________ all largely predictable - and to some degree, preventable. 

Rapid urbanization, poor planning, lack of financing for subsidized housing — all of these things have afflicted this
[05] mountain city in Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro state. Little has been done in response to repeated warnings about the risks
of mountainside construction, researchers as well as current and former public servants told The Associated Press.
And with evidence indicating that climate change is causing more intense rainfall, peril has only increased – not just
for Petropolis, but elsewhere as well. 

More than 1,500 people have died in similar landslides in recent decades in that portion of the Serra do Mar range.
[10] There have been more than 400 deaths from heavy storms in Petropolis alone since 1981.
Antônio Guerra, a geography professor in the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, has studied weather-related
catastrophes in Petropolis for almost 30 years. He has visited dozens of sites where houses and lives __________
swallowed by torrents of mud, and investigated the root causes.

“Rain is the great villain, but the main cause is poor land use. There’s a total lack of planning,” Guerra said in a phone
[15] interview. […]
Petropolis’s haphazard sprawl is recent. Nestled in the mountains _________ 40 miles from Rio de Janeiro and
named for a former Brazilian emperor, Petropolis __________ among the nation’s first planned cities. […]
