Why are you blaming Amazon? What would you change?

You probably know before online stores had their own review systems, it was full of fake review sites (still is) and fake forum product endorsements.

This is not a problem that's here "thanks to the Amazon review system".

If sellers didn't receive purchasers email addresses through Amazon, they wouldn't be able to pull back channel crap like this.

I’ve purchased a lot of products where printed advertisements for schemes like this were included in the box. I haven’t noticed the solicitations in my email - maybe I don’t read those emails because they look like spam?

Amazon must receive a ton of reports of stores doing shady things like this. I know I've sent some. They seemingly spend very little attention to these reports, because it's not like they have to care at all.

This thread is literally about them caring, tho.
