Grey area. I could see someone who actually used it leaving a rave review, but still sketchy by not saying that in full disclosure they got to beta test.

- ken 8y agoThe "Facebook -- Head Of Supply-Chain & Strategic Sourcing AR/VR Products" prefixed his review with "I have historically not been a big Facebook or other social media user". Does anyone believe that? I would describe this situation as more than merely an omission. It's also against Amazon's rules for customer reviews, disclosure or not. It's no gray area. It's the first example of a prohibited activity, under "Promotions and Commercial Solicitations".

- perl4ever 8y agoYou hear this sort of thing a lot. If someone wants to deny an accusation they say "of course it wasn't me, because I would never do something so amateurish". And if they do not choose to deny it, they say "of course it was not intentional, because I would never have been so obvious if it was". The thing about these comments is that one or the other can virtually always be used regardless of the malfeasance conditional on whether denial is possible. So they do not usually provide a reason to doubt the accusation.
