Amazon reviews no longer honest and open? - NewsScan Daily Archives
Copied and pasted from the linked article:
MEASURING UP TO BAD REVIEWS
Anxious to read customer reviews on Clay Aiken's new album "Measure of a Man," I went to Amazon.com on the release date and found two ecstatic and two negative reviews. The next day I was about to post my review when I noticed the tie had been broken--Amazon had simply removed the negative reviews. What's up here?! Wait and watch. So on Thursday a new negative review was posted, but by late afternoon Amazon was on it and had deleted it too.
While Amazon broke new ground years ago by allowing customer to post honest feedback on every product, it appears that honest feedback from customers is not in Amazon.com's interest any more-- but, of course, they'll keep the ones that support sales. So now the original dot com, throws the dot bomb at its own customers. And I no longer trust any of their reviews. (Corl DeLuna)
Looks like you need to take the Amazon reviews with a pinch of salt from now on...
