I know people that sell stuff on Amazon and they don't use fake reviews but if a competitor does use fake reviews it makes it hard not to want to make fake reviews also.. It's a vicious cycle.. Plus they get negative reviews out of nowhere.. Very likely the same competitor is paying to put negative reviews on your page.. So it's a double whammy.. Add a bunch of 1 stars to a competitor page and a bunch of 5 stars to your own page... Basically need to clean up the whole system somehow..
- xt00 10y agoWhat would be ideal is if there were like "real reviewers" that are verified and their review carried more weight.. Which obviously sucks for the seller if they give a bad review.. Maybe there could be a mitigation system where the seller could try to fix something then mark the problem as fixed or something and then the reviewer could mark it as they agree, then they could update their review..
- shostack 10y agoA lot of the "fake" reviews are by real reviewers. It is a common tactic to reimburse reviewers for purchase of the item so they then show up as a verified purchaser.
