If everyone already assumes reviews on Amazon are fake, is it unethical to make paid reviews on Amazon?
If you lost your job from Covid, this sounds like a good way to make ends meet.
The economics to make this work seem crazy. How many other people are being paid for reviews like this guy on the same product? How many fake reviews do you need to finally have the edge on your competitors who are also pumping their pages with fake reviews or is it endless stream of fake reviews? Where does it end?

The marginal cost to the suppliers is probably pretty low on average - sending a reviewer a $150 office chair doesn't cost them $150, which makes it a bit more reasonable as a tactic
- ebg13 6y ago> If everyone... This is a wildly false assumption based on being inside a tech bubble. In rounded terms, the set of customers who assume that Amazon reviews are fake is closer to nobody than to everybody. > is it unethical to make paid reviews on Amazon? Yes. The word for this is "fraud". Even if you believed that all of your reviews were 100% honest and objective, you'd just be deceiving yourself too if you didn't bear the cost.
