Same experience. “No feed found.” I chuckled at the irony and closed the tab.

How is this possible? Do they test sending to a few random addresses?

It’s some consumer loyalty scheme for a chain retailer? Depressingly distant from the “bicycle for the mind” I’d dreamed of.

I just keep a custom stylesheet that annotates usernames with various emoji. Most of the time I update it as I read, but occasionally I’ll peruse the hidden comments to note e.g. uncharitable participation and revealed bigotry.

New comment by aendruk in "Amazon closing its Fresh and Go stores"

aendruk — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 20:22:39 +0000

For about five years an Amazon Fresh in Seattle was literally my closest grocery store but I never once set foot in there, simply because it felt icky and dystopian to let Amazon any further into my life. I wonder how many others felt similarly.

Have a mirror of the TikTok version for comparison? It’s just showing me “Video currently unavailable”.

I’ve always interpreted that question to mean emotionally. Yes, clearly I’m physically injured, but I still have a positive outlook.

When I do hear people respond in the negative it tends to be an opening up about stress.
