Reputation extortion business model

• koheripbal 6y ago
  Yeah, I'm not sure what's happening on Amazon, but I've noticed that most of my bad reviews never get published or disappear.

    The answer is to give a 5 star review, the first paragraph with usual blah blah, the next paragraph with the actual feedback. Even better if you use the coded ways to provide negative feedback. The goal is to make it expensive to distinguish true good reviews from fake good reviews.

    About 1/3rd of my bad reviews are now flagged "sensitive" (belatedly), so no longer normally visible.

  Reputation extortion as a service. I get the mental image that this is how the mob has evolved. No longer are knuckle dragging guidos with crooked noses walking door to door in the neighborhoods offering protection services. "It'd be a shame if something were to happen..." but online.
