Amazon Removes 1 Star Reviews for "What Happened"

Yahoo news
And like that...
quote:
Amazon has been monitoring and deleting reviews after Hillary Clinton's new book was greeted with a torrent of criticism on the day it was released. What Happened, which covers the former Secretary of State's unsuccessful election campaign against Donald Trump, was published on Tuesday.
Clinton and her publisher Simon & Schuster claimed the book would offer a candid account of her failure and her own reflection on it. Reviews of What Happened have been mixed, with some suggesting it Clinton uses it as an opportunity to blame others – such as Bernie Sanders and Vladimir Putin – for her failure, rather than herself.
In The New York Times, which supported Clinton's campaign, Jennifer Senior writes that the book is "a score-settling jubilee". The readers on Amazon, meanwhile, are even more divided – but not all of them have read the book.
The online retail giant has a "verified purchase" option to signpost whether reviewers have bought a product, and none of the 42 reviewers leaving comments on Tuesday had done so.
And like that...

Is this a problem, iyo , or just posting for the lulz?

This sets a solid precedent for the makers of sugar free gummybears to get the justice they feel they deserve.

Posting for the lulz. If they are deleting 1 star comments because those people didn't read the book, then most of the 5 star reviews should be deleted, too.

This is my holy grail. Once I'm able to get hold of these, I'm going to put a bowl of these out in the kitchen of my office.

All Amazon reviews should be by verified purchasers

Goes for any "reviewer", IMO. Otherwise it's just anonymous slander.

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.

they are so FOS. people could have purchased the book outside of Amazon.

The whole absurd thing started a couple of weeks ago before the book was released. There were multiple 5-star reviews essentially saying they were there to offset the Trump trolls. Multiple 1-stars objecting to the premise of the book. I think right now it's still practically a 1 and 5-star split.
Agree with whomever said should be limited to verified purchasers.

I would totally read that book to see how delusional she is about how she fricked this up but I'm not buying the book. I will not put one red cent in that kuntz pocket.

what if they didn't purchase through Amazon? Does that invalidate their opinion?

Kaiser Soze! Great flick.
For every one fake 1* review, there are two 5* reviews even before actually reading it Amazon is a cesspool as well as Tweetersphere

They are still covering for her even when she doesn't matter.

I Just checked and if they're removing 1 star reviews, they're losing a game of whack a mole

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.
