Wasted $40 on a fake HDMI cable on Amazon

Bought a 'high speed' HDMI cable from a third party seller on Amazon last month for my 4K TV. Hooked it up and the picture kept cutting out every 10 minutes. Checked the reviews again and realized half were bots. Felt stupid when a $10 cable from Best Buy fixed everything. Anyone else get burned by fake cables on there?

Is this really worth getting worked up over a $40 cable though? I mean yeah it sucks to get scammed but we're talking about a wire not a kidney or something. You fixed it for $10 and moved on with your life, right? The real lesson here is just don't buy tech accessories from random Amazon sellers with sketchy reviews in the first place.

Guess I bought a magic cable that only works when it feels like it.
