Wait amazon edits your reviews? That's shaddy as hell, I can understand removing a review for "strong language" but changing its content without asking the author is borderline scammy.
I couldn't find similar stories online (although admittedly that's pretty hard to search for). I'd think it would be a big deal if Amazon was caught doing that, wouldn't it be?
- mikeash 8y agoI don’t think there’s anything borderline about it. Sounds like outright fraud to me.
- taylorlunt 8y agoYes, this should be criminal behavior and carry a prison sentence. I don't know if this is legally fraud, but it definitely should be.
- jackewiehose 8y agoI don't know if they do that regulary but in my case they did. It was my first (and last) attempt to write a review. Maybe the amazon employee just had the best intentions and didn't want to disencourage me because it was my first review... they achieved the opposite.
- closetohome 8y agoObviously a retailer like Amazon wouldn't outright edit user reviews because it would be incredibly easy to catch, and would be a massive scandal if true. The guy you're replying to probably just forgot what he wrote.
- alpha_squared 8y ago> Obviously a retailer like Amazon wouldn't outright edit user reviews because it would be incredibly easy to catch... To be fair, you're also giving them the benefit of doubt on this, for which the dark patterns don't seem to justify. It could just be a scandal that hasn't broken, yet.
- jackewiehose 8y ago> The guy you're replying to probably just forgot what he wrote. No, definitely not. But this was almost 10 years ago and I never saved my original writing so I can't tell the exact differences. I guess for the censor at work they where just minor changes but I remember how upset I was because some things I wrote became out of context.
