- chongli 3y agoWhat incentive does Amazon have to do this? Best case scenario: they ban and alienate a bunch of customers who bought stuff on the site. Worst case scenario: they spend tons of money on these false flag operations and end up removing a lot of bestselling products from the site, reducing sales overall.
- yardstick 3y agoIt would be a review shadow ban only. Wouldn’t stop them buying anything or leaving reviews. I doubt it would cost a lot of money from Amazons perspective. But yeah I agree Amazons incentives are not the same as their customers. They obviously have a lot of insight into what drives and lowers sales. Maybe, although I seriously doubt it, at some point they will see enough reduction in sales to take action against poor quality products and their mispresentative reviews.
