I'm sorry, Amazon complained about fake reviews!? They know what site they run right, and more to the point the behavior they almost explicitly condone on that site?
they actually dont condone it, its just that the rate they come in is faster than they can filter out.
for example a while back, Amazon removed Ravpower, Aukey, Mpow from Amazon products list due to companies asking basically paying buyers ti give good reviews. its why those companies basically were deleted off in the U.S market allowing for companies like Anker to rapidly grow.
if you live in the bay area in california, there is a well known seller who frequents tech swaps/flea markets selling the products of these companies for very cheap.
Why do they need to filter?
Can't they easily tell that an account bought a certain product? Only allow those accounts to make a review, and only accounts that have made a certain number of purchases before.
there are communities off amazon on various platforms where companies will basically refund your entire order after they confirm a 5* review for a product they bought, and amazon basically attempts to chase those communities wherever they go. It's not easy for amazon to find out which purchases were purchases that were legitamately made by a user vs a user whose been using amazon, but took a backroom deal to get a free product.
I had a roomate in college who was in those kinds of programs to get free shit and can verify that he basically was refunded after purchase of stuff. Of course, this action is extremely against Amazons TOS
