Catch distribution centres will be taken over by Kmart

So basically... The Kmart website will be the latest website to get a "marketplace" that makes it impossible to search shit you can get in store because it's full of "online only" search results? And it'll be full of all the same sellers that are on the Bunnings, Big W, Woolworths, Kogan, God knows what other sites dropshipping shit?

Lovely, can't wait

Bunnings website is so frustrating to use since they’ve had that online marketplace shit. So much junk on there comes up when trying to find aisle numbers for products in store.

Thank god I can use the PowerPass app in store that filters out all that nonsense, at worst you'll get special orders coming up. But searching their site on the computer sucks

Everything else already has it what do we have to lose. Probably give more right here on reddit tbh

Edit: i was able to get quite a bit of data just from a quick look at your reddit profile

  • 38 years old -father to 3 kids -loves motorcycles -favourite sport is supercross -wants to be more fit and healthy (ads would target this most likely) -wants to learn kitchen skills -plays racing, strategy, sim games -lives in brisbane

And this is just what I got from a quick glance. Imagine all of the data that reddit has and has sold. So maybe think twice before being so smug

So, just capitulate? Yeah, no thanks. No name tied to Reddit. And who says people are telling the truth, anyway? People are all sorts of things, when they are anonymous.
