My theory is that amazon’s new business model is increasingly going to be based on advertising.
Reliable reviews are incompatible with advertising revenue (why else would you have to advertise heavily if your products are really the best).
The same observation may explain the doscountinuation of Amazon Button. Button would reorder the same product/brand over and over again - not compatible with advertising by competitors.
