    Oh they absolutely condone it, both by frequently ignoring reports of fake reviews and occasionally even banning the reporter and by allowing companies to do that thing where they swap product pages to get a bunch of free reviews from something completely different.

      on the flip side, they clamp down hard on communities where companies pay people for reviews for free products. It was a huge issue on reddit and several of its communities were essentially banned. its a two faced situation where soo much shit is happening on all sides that it doesnt look like theyre actively fully one sided.
