      "I received this product for free/at discount in return for my honest and unbiased review" at @Amazon—>Immediate decision by me not to buy.

      I know there is a lot of hidden shilling going on, but you'd think a company would fight it, not let it openly ruin any value reviews had.

      problem is if we immediately reject disclosed interests we're just going to get undisclosed ones

      .@marshray at least do verified purchases, use algos & monitoring to try to find the shills, don't let open recruitment of reviews (as now)?

      Found a product in the category without "unbiased reviews in exchange for product", bought, marked all the other "reviews" as "unhelpful". 🙄

      Amazon should do a "remove all" for all reviews that are "disclosed" as shilling, and fight this. It's so dominant—why weaken its advantage?

      There are many open sites where companies openly give away product in return for "review". Amazon can punish those products & discourage it.

      Oh, gee. So it's a business decision to ruin one of Amazon's most useful features, critical reviews?https://twitter.com/kvanh/status/773585027984560128 …

      those reviewers are hooked up with product via an Amazon program called Vine. So they're doing the opposite. http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2013/10/29/241372607/top-reviewers-on-amazon-get-tons-of-free-stuff …

          Vine reviews are distinctly marked. All the "I received this in exchange for unbiased..." are from shady 3rd-party sites.

          Ah. So Vine is at least an attempt to do quality control. All those shady "unbiased reviews" should go.https://twitter.com/AsherLangton/status/773588359188914176 …
