How do you get to be a reviewer on Amazon?

I've been buying quite a bit lately on Amazon, and when reading reviews on items, a lot of them say "I received this item for free or at a reduced rate for my unbiased review".

How do you get that job?

Companies find customers who are already posting well-written and thoughtful reviews that get lots of "helpful" votes. Some of those people post as if it were their job - maybe it kinda is? Companies then send these people products for review.

There is a whole forum for product ambassadors/reviewers. It's an interesting read.

Ah, OK, that makes sense.

I don't generally post reviews, maybe I should.

Pretty sure they came out in the past few hours and said they were ending the program.

Yep

I hopped on the bandwagon for a bit and started posting reviews on everything I ever bought on Amazon, but then I had things to do and never got back around to it.

Good, I was tired of rooting through reviews to get past those.

I hate those fricking reviews. I give them 0% credibility.

I got an email alert one day and have been doing it since.

I buy a LOT on Amazon.

Amazon banned that today. You can no longer receive free/discounted products or compensation for a review.
