Also: IIRC, Amazon used to only accept verified buyer reviews. Did they remove the default setting to pimp her shitty book? The MSM has been drooling over it.

I've had many fake reviews on Amazon, including some where the reviewer said, "Awesome book. My kid loved it! It's our favorite" then gave it one star.

Funny, there have been troll reviews of products on Amazon since their inception and hordes of people asking Amazon to pull out those obvious trolling remarks but with no action. But lordy, they are working overtime to weed out the trolls who are bashing Hillary and her book. Pretty disgusting. You aren't supposed to have a political agenda, Amazon. You are supposed to sell stuff. And if you are going to weed out the negative reviews for Hillary's items, you need to weed out ALL trolling reviews from other items.

The Fascists are doing what they do best censoring and deleting things they don't agree with.

Amazon has employed Media Matters, a Soros sponsored organization that is widely derided as hugely biased, untruthful and flagrant, to advise them on such matters. What do you expect?

I get you, but what if you have a product being reviewed, but didn't get it through Amazon? You are still qualified to review the product and give your thoughts on it despite not purchasing it from them.
Review it on the website/store you bought it then. Can't be verified, shouldn't be up. It's like fake news.

Then review it where you purchased it. Too easy. Not worth the damage from fake reviews to allow non-customers to post.

So, I read a book and think it's great/it's shite and I should be prohibited from going on a site where that book is being marketed and sold and giving a review? Shouldn't potential customers want to know whether the book is worth buying?

Another internet platform basically changing its entire business model (their whole model was based since their inception on this notion that anyone who had purchased a product anywhere could give unfiltered reviews on their site and ostensibly be the only advertising such products needed) in the name of propping up progressive filth like Hillary Clinton (and presumably knocking down Trump/Hitler).

Reviewers often aren't just reviewing the product itself, but also the seller and the entire buying process.
Besides, given the possibility of fake reviews, Amazon or anyone selling review able products, wants to be sure that it comes from someone who at least bought the product.

Yes. Your review isn't worth the introduction of fake reviews. If you want to review it on Amazon, buy it on Amazon. Of course, this is just my preference. Amazon will obviously do what they want.

They rigged the primary for her. Now they are rigging book reviews.
They really go to extremes to polish this turd.

It's pretty hilarious that Trump trolls are arguing that Amazon should have to cater their rules for product reviews to the trolls liking. Or anyone's liking, for that matter.

How about a level playing field. Otherwise, those reviews are worthless.

The playing field is level. Buy the book from Amazon and you can leave any review you want.

So if I pick up a book in the airport, I'm not allowed to review it on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc because I'm also reviewing my experience with shopping there?
Come on, people aren't reviewing the shopping experience. They are reviewing the book. There will always be trolls. What Happened just happens to have shite reviews coming in from both sides.

They'll have plenty of verified buyers so your review is not worth the risk of being fake.

If there's no proof you own the product, I don't want your review wasting time and space.
Posted on 9/13/17 at 1:20 pm to buckeye_vol
Would you support getting rid of Yelp and other review sites like that if it can't be verified that someone used that service?

quote:No. If Amazon allowed unverified reviews, then I wouldn't support getting rid of them either. As a consumer, I would prefer to have access to verifiable reviews. With a company like Amazon, it's a lot more feasible than some random restaurant on Yelp.
