My favorite is the question and answer area where they answer "I don't know".

  Both of these are caused by the emails sent out, where unsuspecting people try to do their best to answer the question or write a review - sometimes thinking they have to.

    Yeah. Amazon didn't start the answers section like this. Once Amazon started emailing random purchasers to answer questions about the item they purchased, the quality of the answers went way down.

      In principle it would be very easy to Amazon to detect 'I don't know' type answers.

        In principle it would be very easy to Amazon to detect when a product listing is switched to a completely different item, yet that fraud is rampant.

          Yes. I was already implicitly blaming Amazon for the low-quality reviews..
