Is anyone else on here that is not based in the US noticing the strange behavior of amazon links when posting on this site? The links I left were all for the global USA based amazon.com site, but I am in the UK at the moment for a couple of weeks, and I've started to notice that whenever I click the .com links, it is automatically diverting me to the UK version of amazon instead. (for example:
www.amazon.com/dp/B01KZTISHC seems to be erroneously autodirecting me to
www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01KZTISHC ) Is anyone else experiencing this? (most likely this will not be happening to anyone based in the US, as .com will be the local one).
It's not necessarily a bad thing, but definitely something I've never noticed before. (perhaps it's new functionality, or perhaps it always did this). However, usually I am based in Greece (because I live there) and from there the links normally take me to the same one as the link originally says (like it should), so was just curious if this was exclusive to UK, or if it happened anywhere else too? (Greece doesn't have a version of amazon, so it's possible that this is why I don't get the divert from there)
If any non-US based people on here are reading this, can you please do me a favor and test where the links take you? Let me know both which country you are trying it from, and also which version of amazon it is taking you to when you click it.
www.amazon.com/dp/B01KZTISHC Should be an interesting little experiment, just to see what happens. (for me, it seems to be happening on anyone's .com link (not just mine), but just for amazon links (links for other websites are all working as normal). If anyone can let me know, it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
