Use Amazon as a search engine, not a shopping site. Also, don't believe any reviews you see on Amazon. Probably 90% fake. Only the 1 and 2 star reviews are worth considering. Also, look at the actual number of the 1 and 2 star reviews. If only 1 percent of the reviews are 1 star, but that 1 percent is over a thousand reviews, it's probably a crap product. They just add more 5 star reviews to even it out and sometimes the reviews aren't even for the listed product.
Some researchers visited my University that were working on identifying and removing fake reviews on Amazon. This was years ago. They have the technology, they just choose to leave the fake reviews up.
Yup. I have been using Fakespot for quite sometime. When I mentioned that there are lots of fake reviews, Amazon deleted my review.
Recently, they suspended my ability to review altogether. They didn’t even send me a message; I just noticed it when I tried to left a review of a dvd I bought and they sent me a counterfeit.
They said that my account was being used to leave spammy reviews. Which is bullshit. No way to appeal the suspension either. Fuck Amazon.
