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?
@xssfox yes, in general, unless it's because the product itself is now delisted as a scam?

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz having to wait 5 business days to see if a purchase is worth it is insane

@xssfox only certain people we approve of get to have informed consent.

@xssfox well yes, that is fraud. please let the commerce commission know.
people (me, and please put them in touch to verify it) are insisting the commerce commission boot Amazon out of Aotearoa. it has no place here.
Temu too would obviously be appreciated.
those types of organisation are classed as wealth extraction systems. they are not real retailers.
that fact alone is clear grounds for making them illegal to operate here.

@robfwalter Amazon is the scam.

@xssfox yeah, I reckon the 'augmented web' might be going to make a comeback, where there are user controlled overlays on sites, with all the real reviews

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.

@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.

@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.
