AmaZons profit partially comes from having a good reputation. If everyone comes to understand that their reviews are all fake then people won’t use the site as much. E.g. you might use a trusted blog as a review and they might link to some other site. So they should care.

- lwhi 5y agoAmazon has a terrible reputation. They make profit despite this, largely because they have no quibble guarantees and free, fast delivery for prime members.
- stordoff 5y agoI've just started completely ignoring reviews on Amazon. I can send stuff back if it's not up to quality (UK - I realise the this may not apply globally), so it's not worth my time trying to determine what reviews are/aren't real. Amazon still ends up getting my custom as many other sites have more awkward returns processes or are not competitive on price.
- lwhi 5y agoExactly, I agree.
