I have noticed a proliferation of "I received this product for {free | discount | etc} in exchange for my unbiased review" notices tagging reviews on what seems like every product I look for on Amazon these days. It's a shame the reviews are so gamified now that they are losing their usefulness, at least to those that realize the scam.
- zzleeper 11y agoThe last few times I had to buy a product, I just googled stuff like "site:reddit.com usb charger" and read the comments and suggestions of actual people; much better than the fake stuff from amazon. I wonder how much it will take until someone starts a botnet discussing products on reddit..
- mertd 11y agoIt would be naive to think Reddit doesn't already have people dropping product suggestions for marketing purposes.
