I think the argument that doing fake reviews on Amazon is 'bad behavior' or something to feel guilty about is laughable.
Amazon is one of the most well capitalized businesses in the known history of the universe. Their credibility is not a public good. I think siphoning off value from the Moloch of Bezos's empire is probably a net societal good.

People don't think that it's bad behavior because it sullies Amazon's good name. People think that it's bad behavior because it's scamming other regular people so that you can make a quick buck. That's like the definition of anti-social behavior. > I think siphoning off value from the Moloch of Bezos's empire is probably a net societal good. "And who cares about all the other fools I'm personally scamming anyway! They should have been born me!" Maybe we could try to think of any other way to contribute to the decline of Amazon that _isn't_ directly scamming our neighbors.
