Amazon Reviews

[RSteve]

Ever had one rejected? I wonder how many people at Amazon review purchaser reviews. I've written some that I thought would be rejected and they were approved. Today, I received a rejection notice for a review that I wrote that was positive, but advised prospective buyers to consider another similar product also available at Amazon.

Their reviews are suspect. Such a mess. Products many years old under the same name, but no longer the same thing or updated. Or whatever other odd thing that doesn't seem genuine or useful.

I just had one denied. Pretty rare event. I think I included a comment about something another reviewer wrote that bitched about something that was his misunderstanding and not a fault of the product. Amazon allows reviewers to be brain dead but not to protect a product’s reputation by calling someone on being brain dead.

Fakespot Inc., a market monitoring service company, found that around 42 percent of the 720 million reviews it assessed on Amazon's website from March to Sept. 2020 were fake. And that percentage is rising. The year before, only 36 percent were deemed fake in the same time period.

I just had another one rejected. I wrote that I could not judge how the product worked until I tested it. I was wary of the item because the box arrived unsealed and the protective bubble wrap ordinarily in the shipping box was missing.

So you didn’t provide a review of the item.

So you didn’t provide a review of the item.

I wrote that this was the second time I purchased the identical item and it's working splendidly, but the item I received in this delivery has not been tested and appears to be used.

Oh, well that’s different.
