Reviews really help small businesses who don't have millions to spend on marketing and traffic.

For example I sell online video courses and reviews (legit of course) help quite a bit with sales. This is independently, not on Amazon or another platform.

That’s how they exploit us. They tell us we are helping the small business owner or the phone rep and play on our natural fellow feeling while the main beneficiary is the giant, faceless multinational.
