Earphone Charging Headphone Splitter Compatible
Amazon's catalog no longer lists this product (checked 2026-11-02). The name comes from the link HN users posted.
I'm starting to be on the same boat, though not necessarily for the same reasons. Amazon Basics is still pretty strong... it's when you get to third party stuff that it becomes a real minefield.
The amount of third party sellers re-using listings for multiple products to pad their reviews is honestly astonishing. Searching for a lightning to 3.5mm jack leads to this as the #2 result:

Not only does this not work (as discovered by my SO), but all of the reviews for it are for phone cases, utility knives, etc. In the past month or two, this has been happening WAY too often. It's gotten to the point, like you've said, where AliExpress has become more reliable. That seems insane to me.
