Agreed. And it’s not limited to the (excellent) points you made.
Amazon’s domination of the market is not merely the platform; they have 10+ years of user submitted content which, originally, made them a source for product information and research. For many of us, that power has faded, as we are aware that a large percentage of reviews are fake. But for many, many more, they aren’t aware of this.
Personally, I know “a lot” of reviews are fake - a vague number between “a bunch” but not “all” - I only know this information in general; I don’t know which specific reviews are fake. Knowing that will definitely change my shopping habits - and probably not for their benefit.
For the Moms and Grandpas, this information will be new - and incredibly damaging to Amazons reputation.
(Unfortunately I’m pretty sure they use Internet Explorer/Chrome so maybe it won’t help.)
