At some point it crosses the line into fraud. Like look at this listing:

https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-49-inch-Odyssey-FreeSync-LC49...

There's a little box that says:

>Protect your purchase

>Coverage for drops, spills and breakdowns (plans vary)

If you click through you'll see that the plan specifically excludes drops and spills. Two of the three things they advertise for.

Like that's just fraud and someone at Amazon green-lit this knowing that it's just fraud. It's not optimization gone haywire. It's discovering that you can make money scamming people and not having any qualms about scamming your customers.
