==Article Ideas (Public To-Do List)==

DISCLAIMER: These are just ideas for topics potentially worth researching in the future for documented cases of consumer rights violations. In other words, I have not researched these topics (yet); they are based on anecdotes and hearsay (for now). I'm posting them on my page because I am just one person with limited time, and someone else may see this and go "oh, hey! That sounds like a good idea!" and then I don't have to do it. :P Do note, though, I may remove any of these ideas at any time if I think at some point that they're not worth mentioning on this Wiki or I find out there's already an article or a good enough mention of it, or I may move them to the discussion page of a relevant article. Also note that some of these topics may be already mentioned on the Wiki; I have not read every page. (I know, shocker lol)

As for why I don't just make stubs out of these... ''mainly'' because I'm not 100% sure if all of these are Wiki-worthy, but I also just personally don't like making stubs. When I make a page, I consider myself the "head" of that project and I want to only be focused on the main topic of that one page instead of dividing my attention too much between other major projects. If you want to take an idea from here and make a stub for others to edit, that's fine with me- I just won't make a page until I'm ready to write it.

*YouTube - This is a goldmine (junk-mine?) of consumer rights violations. This is a topic Louis talks about frequently, so there's plenty of options to adapt videos to articles as well. I'd be VERY surprised if there wasn't already a dedicated page for it (or Google, where it could be mentioned). Maybe if any of those videos aren't adapted yet, I'll do one after Bumpgate's done before a bigger article as a "break". :P

* AliExpress - I've heard a lot about this one being really bad for consumers, but I was reminded of it when I watched a MattKC video last night. He tried to turn a Surface Studio into a really big, nice monitor, and he had a ridiculously horrible time with an AliExpress seller and the company itself. I know they aren't US-based (pretty sure they're Chinese?) but they of course do sell internationally, and I think folks should be aware of their practices- especially since their products are usually very cheap (and hence, enticing).

*AliExpress - I've heard a lot about this one being really bad for consumers, but I was reminded of it when I watched a MattKC video last night.
