This suggests they wanted amazon to accept their "irrefutable proof".
I hate fake reviews. I'm not defending them. But the fact that literally every site of significant size that offers reviews struggles to control fake ones should be a clue that it isn't so easy to manage.
Just google/bing "{big site name} fake reviews" and you'll find this issue plagues everyone, not just amazon.
- a4isms 3y agoI am not saying it's easy to manage, I am saying something far more critical of Amazon and others that hide behind this "it's too hard to do, wah, wah" excuse: If it is too difficult to prevent your customers from being defrauded when they do business with you, find another business model. No business has an inalienable right to exist, much less an inalienable right to choose whatever business model they like and then shrug their shoulders at whether they are complicit in crimes against their own customers. Nobody ordered Amazon to allow other merchants on their platform. Nobody told Amazon that comingling goods with third parties was an acceptable way to cut their costs and become more "efficient" at a business. They chose to do these things, and it is on them to find a way to stop stealing from their customers, or face criticism from people like me. I do not accept "It is too hard to police fraud" as an excuse for making money from fraud. I also do not accept "everybody's doing it" as an excuse.
