Again - yes, the reviews can be manipulated and they definitely ARE. But that is not in any way encouraged by Amazon as it doesn't get anything from that. "Sell-out entirely and make a lot of money letting people buy influence" - doesn't apply here

As I said above - that's not actually item 4

Right, but this doesn't look like Reddit or Quora selling-out, these are just users exploiting the platforms

Hmm. How do you buy influence on Reddit or Amazon?
