I got offered a more expensive product for free if I’d change my review. So I changed it to 1 star instead. Judging by the glowing reviews a lot of people took the offer.
And Amazon tends to remove reviews that mention being bribed.
Amazon is a cesspit now.
I was looking for some Wera allen keys the other day. I wrote “Wera allen keys”. The top 6 items were “sponsored” that looked identical to Wera Allen Keys but were chinese rip offs.
It’s all just designed to con people, just show me what I searched for.
Aww, why do they never try to bribe me? :-(
Me neither. I’ve never had a freebie either.
Probably a combination of what you buy and how often you buy things. I’ve been offered bribes for reviews at least a dozen times. Never taken them because they weren’t worth the effort (offering gift cards for small amounts or a discount on other stiluff from them). It’'s always chinese vendors and usually stuff like torches and bike accessories that are fairly generic in my experience
I remember being offered a free gift if I left a positive review, this back in 2018.
Can’t trust reviews from members of the public. Either bribed or Best product ever after 16s of using the product or one star because the delivery took to long.
