It took them long enough! The general public knew this like foreverā¦
Good.
Itās a special kind of paranoid when you have to scan the reviews on Amazon and wonder āAre these real people or sock puppetsā before buying something. It undermines my ability to trust at a real, noticeable level. And that pisses me off.
I usually read the 1 star and 2 star reviews on Amazon. If they donāt contain any showstoppers, I feel reasonably confident about buying.
What I would really like is a way to filter out all the reviews that end with āI was supplied with a free sample of this product in return for my honest (;-)) opinion.ā
I would think it would be pretty easy to hide your footprints. Are these just the chumps who got caught?
This only covers the fake reviews, right? What Lolipop said. But thatās kinda like asking the DNC to stop taking $$ from payday lenders.
I like when the 1 or 2 star review references themā¦ āDonāt listen to these a-holes because theyāre full of it! Itās a piece of garbage.ā
Trump still has them beat!
Ya, I start with the three star reviews and then proceed up or down based on what I see there
Three star review seem to be the sweet spot for finding reviewers who donāt think in hyperbole. In theory (but not in practice), three star reviews should be the middle of the bell curve.
Excellent.
Amazon itself(while apparently a soul-crushing postindustrial logistics sweatshop) is pretty reasonable to deal with.
Their āmarketplaceāā¦is less so. Between the weaknesses of Amazonās search tech and the amount of skeeziness, I honestly prefer dealing with fleabay rather than grovelling around Amazonās less loved corners.
