Can’t they easily tell that an account bought a certain product? Only allow those accounts to make a review, and only accounts that have made a certain number of purchases before.
there are communities off amazon on various platforms where companies will basically refund your entire order after they confirm a 5* review for a product they bought, and amazon basically attempts to chase those communities wherever they go. It’s not easy for amazon to find out which purchases were purchases that were legitamately made by a user vs a user whose been using amazon, but took a backroom deal to get a free product.
I had a roomate in college who was in those kinds of programs to get free shit and can verify that he basically was refunded after purchase of stuff. Of course, this action is extremely against Amazons TOS
Why do they need to filter?
