What is your target audience and what do you sell them?
"I acquire e-commerce brands that sell on Amazon"
Honestly it sounds like the OP is part of the machine that makes Amazon such a trashy marketplace these days.

And for the record, I only buy brands that sell high-quality products. Marketing and operations I can fix, but if the stuff they sell is no good, there's no point.
And more, you are AI-generating listings and images for your acquired brands. You're filling Amazon with slop, and automating the process.
You should seriously reflect on your role in polluting these marketplaces.
I buy them off of Amazon. But that doesn't really matter that much compared to the history of reviews.
> And yet we all know Amazon sellers juice their sales metrics and ratings with scammy practices, and now I see selling their brand is part of the incentive.
You just read that online and have the most superficial understanding possible. I know what I'm doing, and it's trivial to avoid this kind of thing.

Bad criticism. There's nothing wrong with an AI-generated listing if the content accurately represents the product. I have purchased brands that had horrendous images because the seller tried to Photoshop them but wasn't good at it. Replaced those with high-quality AI images, and everyone wins - the customer better understands what the product is, and I get more sales. It's only slop if you just think everything AI-generated is slop regardless of what it is or how it's used, and if so that's too intellectually lazy of a position for me to try to disabuse you of.

Help me out with that. What's my role? I buy brands that sell high-quality products, increase the quality of the content and marketing, and make money selling them. The sellers of these brands are frequently people who started them on the side but don't have the time to continue, and I get them a fair price in exchange for their businesses.
So what is the pollution that I'm causing?
Anyway, I'm sure the app you makes that lets you get a phone number that can send image messages is very complex, and I think that's very nice.
