It's not a problem for Amazon, it's a net positive feature monetarily speaking.

  Is it? I regularly look elsewhere because I can't be confident that I am getting what I want. I guess if they expect that the products are worse than they appear then making reviews useless would be helpful. But if they have some good products and good reviews I would be more inclined to buy. It seems that there is the a low area what bad quality reviews help more purchases but for the middle quality and good quality products I would expect low review quality to drive sales elsewhere.

    Oh its extremely user hostile, but Amazon makes money either way. Counterfeit, bait and switch, commingling inventory, all of that doesn't matter because the transaction volume going out is still greater than the refunds and unhappy users. Way past the point of return for that to hurt business. I agree with you though, I only shop amazon for simple stupid things I cant find local, I don't even buy name brand there anymore.
