Re: Do You Trust Amazon Reviews?
There are people who do care about giving reviews. We used to be able to test a lot of fun products until they recently changed the policy. The products were mostly from small Mom-and-Pop type of companies. Those reviews can make or break a company like that; it's the same thing with books.
You can usually tell a person cares about the review they are doing if they take time to add a video or pictures. I look for those before I look at ratings. Then I look for percentage of one star reviews on the product. If there are more than 10% one stare reviews no matter how good the product is I'm moving on. You can also go to the top reviewers list and go from there so you know you are getting quality reviews.
I'm an Amazon junkie, and love researching reviews when buying products. Hopefully this new policy change will help weed out the fake reviewers and the sellouts who really damaged the credibility of the reviews on Amazon.

- Latest Review: Sigfried’s Smelly Socks! by Len Foley
It's pathetic for someone to call themselves a writer and pay for glowing, anonymous reviews when all they're thinking about is money and fame; it's offensive to those who truly put themselves on the line, those that expose themselves to honest and potentially heart-crushing reviews, because writing is their ultimate dream.
