Are Amazon reviews gamed nowadays?

• theduder99 5y ago
  Search for giant spider on amazon as halloween is coming up soon. Scroll down search results a bit and click into the product with many more reviews than the others (700+). First page of reviews are for a completely different product - art brushes? Either the seller bought these reviews and there was a comms mixup on what the reviewers were supposed to do or Amazon is showing reviews for the wrong product.

    They change the product description and pictures, and just keep the old reviews.

      But how can Amazon let this happen so often? It's not in their incentive for reviews to be untrustworthy, and Ive seen this product page switch several times.

  It's pretty obvious tbh
