A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
A lot of it is because Amazon is known for stealing designs from innovative, small companies and running them out of business to sell their stolen designs under the Amazon Basics brand. Usually they do so by decreasing the quality of materials and relying on their own supply chain to keep prices low.
Link to an article from 2021
Edit: Also found this Youtube video by Peak Design, who are very well known for their high quality gear. It's about Amazon ripping off their sling bag design.
How am I not surprised?
Unironically you say this in defense of AMAZON
... you haven't watched the video, have you? Otherwise you would know why Amazon can sell their bag for only 50 bucks. Either way, 150 bucks isn't even that much for a high quality bag that'll last you years and is backed by a damn good warranty. That's pretty much the same prize range as other high tech bags of that size. You get what you pay for.
the led zeppelin of retailers...just like any other seller that's made it big
