Re:Amazon can’t end fake reviews, but its new system might drown them out

Reviews are worth a lot to sellers.
So much so that if you leave a 1-star review, there's a good chance you'll eventually get an email asking you to remove the 1-star review in exchange for a refund, a giftcard worth the price of the product, etc.
It encourages bad behavior though; You can basically gamble on what sellers will send you that email and thus give you the product for free.

This sounds pretty terrible when you think about how arbitrarily websites can determine you're a "bad user", but then again I like the idea of doing this programmatically for sites I myself want to stop using.
Either that or a plugin to encourage productivity.
Don't block social media sites, just turn them all into slow ineffective shitty websites.
