I've been sent a random junky product (in its box: I knew I hadn't ordered the thing) from Amazon as an exploit to use an older Amazon account I'd had, to produce a verified five star review. It was the #1 rated product in its category, and that's when I stopped trusting anything about Amazon. I don't remember if it was also 'Amazon's Choice': seems to ring a bell, it may well have been: showing not that Amazon was intentionally pushing garbage, but that it was purely algorithmic. I don't think it's malice as much as wilful ignorance.
