And how exactly does that solve the problem?

  Because the truth is that the reviews are probably almost all fake. Who the f**k IRL takes the time to log back in and leave a product review when the product arrives? I've never done it, and I used to buy from Amazon quite a lot.

    Unfortunately some people are dumb enough to give Amazon free business. I used to be that naive myself.

    > Who ... takes the time to log back in and leave a product review when the product arrives? Nice people who want to help others out, and angry people who want their money back.

    I do it. It’s easy because the site prompts me to do it. And I’m happy to help future buyers.

    This is somewhat true. I review only when am highly impressed or thoroughly disgusted with a product. So-so products where I got more or less what I hoped for, and which is not too highly differentiated from alternatives, I don't bother with reviewing them.

    This was what most people did when they bought things online even 15 years ago. I used to leave reviews for almost everything in the 90s and early 2000s. Amazon was a community. At some point of scale that changed.
