Here is an interesting Youtube channel that deals with fake reviews.
Recently involved with a $100K fine investigation in fake Yelp reviews on a NY Doc.
We all knew how many bogus reviews are out there.
Nice to see someone trying to clean things up.
All the Best,

Amazon reviews alone should keep them busy.

Tell me about it…
My 999,900lm flashlight could barely squeak out 999,250lm.
And that’s even with a fresh cell right out of the charger!

Well there’s the problem, imagine the difference in output if you had used a 1.5V primary AAA cell instead of a 1.2V NiMH!
Pffft. Probably wouldn’t even crack 999,000lm…
What about the countless Amazon products that claim they have 250,000 reviews. Or when you click on a product and it said 3000 sold last month. I thought most people don’t write reviews.
Or when an Amazon product says it has 150,000 5 star reviews. When you click to read them 90% of them are negative.
Or the amazon ones where you go look at the reviews and they are for a different product.

Yeah, that’s pretty annoying.
It’s one of my biggest gripes with Amazon, though I do love me some Amazon.

Instruction unclear. Tried to charge an AAA alkaline cell for that extra freshness and it burned my house down 
Customer: Orders product with batteries sold separatey (noted prominently in listing)
Also Customer: “Product came with no batteries! I’d give it negative stars if I could! So angry right now!
