The other day while viewing Amazon for a scam product I noticed I couldn't see any of the 1 star reviews. There was a button to click to "request all reviews" or something like that.
Now several days later I get "Your request is not approved at this time, and you will see a limited selection of customer reviews."
This seems bonkers to me... like.... nearly fraud?
I would never consider Amazon a reliable source to evaluate itself, so my automatic goto is to search the "Ten Best" consumer lists, which gives you a much better basis for assessment.
Occasionally I see a review that gives me some info, but usually I don't treat them as reliable, in general.
Also, lot of clumsy people break or misuse their product, then blame the maker.

It's drop shippers all the way down. Most of the shops you see are basically three Temus in a trench coat.

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz having to wait 5 business days to see if a purchase is worth it is insane
@puppygirlhornypost2 @xssfox I'd say if you have to wait that long for the negative reviews then the product very much is not worth buying.

@retrosponge@kind.social @xssfox@cloudisland.nz And the platform very much isn't worth using.

@puppygirlhornypost2 @xssfox It's an absolute shit show but being disabled I hate that sometimes I have no choice but to use it.

@xssfox Wow, this is so much worse than I would expect even from them. I'd expect them to just make it incredibly annoying.
I haven't bought anything on Amazon since January 2025; it's getting rough over there.

Makes sense to me. As a sketchy drug dealer, I don't let my customers bring test kits because if they knew what was in my drugs, they wouldn't buy them. That's just good business. -

@xssfox What do you mean nearly fraud? It straight up 100% is fraud...

@xssfox Weird thing, but for some reason I'm allowed to see the 1-star reviews? Or at least it shows two reviews and I don't see any sort of "request all reviews" option.
They both say what you'd expect they say.

Had the same experience for a different shopping platform where they literally *take reviews from other shops selling similar products* for shops that havent sold much of that item to pass it off as their own with a tiny grey disclaimer.
How sick is that. False advertising to the extremities, and I've been watching the downpour of scummy practices from this same company over the years.

I’m surprised they let me see two 1-star reviews
@xssfox@scottcain those reviews were posted June 21, so probably after @xssfox "requested access" to reviews.

Here, just read this AI summary of reviews which slightly rephrases the seller's product description 🤪 -

Misrepresentation by omission?
