Goddamnit, Amazon

Source: Gordon’s Notes: Amazon reviews now unreliable – negative reviews filtered (Anker example)

I thought I was running into isolated issues as I rarely have to give negative reviews but knowing there is systemic bias in the reviews available makes all of those reviews useless to me. I’ll probably end up having to make use of the return policy much more often now.

Where else might we see this? It makes shopping online that much harder knowing the website you’re shopping at is actively fucking with your perception of it.
