Do you mean reviews done by verified purchasers? I believe I have read that firms buying reviews get around that qualifier by giving the reviewer money/gift cards to purchase the item, then write a positive review. They could easily set it up so that the reviewer has to send back the sample item, too, to reduce the cost.
- dawnerd 10y agoExactly this. Amazon claims they're fixing it but I don't think that'll stop the problem. If anything it'll cause them to do reviews without posting a notice about it being sponsored or potentially biased.
- vidarh 10y agoFiverr is full of people offering to do reviews on this basis, for example.
