AMAZON IS SUING 1000 PEOPLE FOR DOING ONE
OF THE MOST EVIL THINGS YOU COULD EVER DO IN THE WORLD,
FALSIFYING PRODUCT REVIEWS.
THAT'S RIGHT, ACCORDING TO MANY
REPORTS, AMAZON NOTICED THAT ON A WEBSITE, A COUPLE OF
WEBSITES, BUT PARTICULARLY THIS
ONE CALLED FIVERR, WHERE YOU CAN HIRE PEOPLE FOR AT LEAST FIVE
DOLLARS, OR MORE, A GROUP OF PEOPLE, AT LEAST 1000, WERE
SAYING THEY WILL WRITE FAKE PRODUCT REVIEWS FOR YOUR PRODUCT
ON AMAZON SO THAT YOU CAN GET MORE FAVORABLE RATINGS.
WE HAVE
ABOUT THIS GIG, IF WE CAN SHOW THE GRAPHIC OF WHAT IT LOOKED
LIKE.
THIS PERSON SAID, I WILL POST AN AWESOME REVIEW ON YOUR
AMAZON PRODUCT, KINDLE BOOKS, E-BOOK, ETC.
MORE THAN 30+
DIFFERENT ACCOUNT AND ID.
LATER THEY SAID "MONEYBACK GUARANTY."
GIVING US THAT FLAWLESS GRAMMAR THAT WE HAVE COME TO RELY ON
FROM EVERY PRODUCT REVIEW WE SEE
ON AMAZON.
I WENT ON AMAZON, BECAUSE I RELY ON THESE BEING
LEGITIMATE REVIEWS.
I WANTED TO
BUY A PRODUCT,
THE ACCOUTREMENTS OF FUZZY NOSE AND CLASSES GLASSES DISGUISE.
I RELIED ON SOMEONE SAYING THEY HAD A SON WHO WANTED PAIR TO
FOOL AROUND WITH. 4 STARS.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO RELY ON THAT.
SOMETHING ELSE, FOR EXAMPLE, A JUMBO PENIS STRAW.
THIS IS A
REAL PRODUCT ON AMAZON, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO RELY ON
SOMEONE WHO SAYS, " THESE DIDN'T EVEN FEEL GOOD AT ALL.
NOT EVEN
WHEN YOU PUT THEM ALL IN AT THE SAME TIME.
JUMBO?!
MAYBE IF YOU
ARE A JUMBO SHRIMP!"
WHO ARE YOU TO TRUST ON AMAZON?
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS VERY REAL STORY?
ON THE PENIS STRAW?
ON IT ALL.
I THINK THAT GIG PERSON WHO POSTED FROM FIVERR, I CAN ONLY READ THAT IN A
HEAVY ACCENT.
IT JUST SOUNDS
REALLY SLEAZY.
AT THE END IT SAYS, PLEASE POST PRODUCT REVIEW, IT WILL BE
BETTER.
THE WHOLE THING IS KIND OF SLEAZY.
HOW HARD IS IT TO JUST HONESTLY REVIEW A PRODUCT?
ACTUALLY, I'VE NEVER DONE IT, SO IT MIGHT BE VERY HARD.
HAVE YOU EVER DONE A PRODUCT REVIEW ON AMAZON?
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?
I LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO DO THE REVIEWS.
IF THEY HAVE TIME AND
THEY ARE NOT FAKE, THEN I AM IN
FAVOR OF IT.
IT'S FINALLY CLICKED FOR ME, IT IS
FIVERR.COM,
AS IN THEY WILL DO THIS FOR YOU
FOR FIVE DOLLARS.
BUT NOW THAT YOU GIVE IT THIS ACCENT, MAYBE
IT SHOULD BE HIGH-FIVE.
I LIKE HOW IT IS SPELLED, IT IS FIVE
AND WE ERR.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO FOR FIVE DOLLARS?
HAVE YOU EVER READ A REVIEW ON AMAZON AND WERE LIKE, I'M
DEFINITELY GETTING IT NOW.
I HAVE.
I SPEAK FRENCH, SO I LIKE TO DABBLE IN TRANSLATING.
I'M HUSTLING RIGHT NOW GUYS, BECAUSE I HAVEN'T MADE IT.
SO I
BOUGHT THIS BOOK ON HOW TO TRANSLATE, TIPS ON TRANSLATING
SCRIPTS, AND IT WAS VERY HELPFUL, AND I RELIED VERY HEAVILY
ON THE AMAZON REVIEWS.
WHEN I FOUND OUT WE WERE DOING THIS
STORY I WAS DISAPPOINTED, BECAUSE I KNOW IT IS A TOOL THAT
PEOPLE USE.
I THINK IT'S WEIRD
THAT AMAZON IS NOT EXAMINING FIVERR, AND THAT THEY'RE GOING
AFTER INDIVIDUALS, I STILL THINK IT IS, I THINK IT JUST HURT
MY FEELINGS A LITTLE BIT, I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL REAL.
I TRIED TO SUBMIT, LIKE THAT STUPID THING I DID THAT WAS
PROBABLY A LITTLE TOO FAR, BUT I TRIED TO SUBMIT IT AND IT
SAID WE WILL NOTIFY YOU WHEN THIS IS UPLOADED, BECAUSE
WE ARE GOING TO REVIEW YOUR REVIEW TO MAKE SURE THAT IT
IS ACTUALLY LEGITIMATE.
AND THAT COSTS SEVEN DOLLARS.
THEY HAD TO VERIFY THAT YOU BOUGHT SOMETHING, AND THAT
SOMETHING WAS SENT TO YOU.
THAT'S WHY ON THAT ARTICLE IT WAS SAYING, IT'S OKAY, JUST MAIL
ME AN EMPTY ENVELOPE.
I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON EVERYTHING.
THAT'S MY JOB.
I COMMENT ON EVERYTHING.
ON TRANSLATION, I SPEAK TURKISH.
AT THE END OF A SUMMER INTERNSHIP A LONG TIME AGO WHEN
I WAS IN SCHOOL, I WAS WORKING FOR A BIG MULTINATIONAL COMPANY
OUT OF TURKEY.
THEY SAID, YOU WROTE THIS BIG ARTICLE,
TRANSLATE IT INTO TURKISH, AND I SAID NO, I CANíT.
IT'S HARD.
I FEEL TRANSLATORS SHOULD BE PAID MORE, BECAUSE IT IS SUPER
HARD.
THAT WAS RANDOM, SORRY.
ONTO THE STORY.
YOU ASKED, DO I
USE THE REVIEWS, DO I LOOK AT THEM?
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT AMAZON
SPECIFICALLY, BUT I DEFINITELY LOOK AT REVIEWS.
IF I'M GOING
TO STAY AT A HOTEL, ESPECIALLY IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY, IF THEY
ARE LIKE, GOOD LUCK GETTING ROOM SERVICE, HASN'T HAPPENED IN A
DECADE.
I DON'T KNOW IF I NEED ROOM SERVICE, SO THAT WAS A
RANDOM EXAMPLE.
BUT IF THEY'RE LIKE, WHEN YOU ARE CHECKING IN
THEY WILL SPIT IN YOUR EYE.
FOREIGN COUNTRY OR MIAMI ñ
BOOK IT NOW, THEY SPIT ON YOU, AWESOME.
COULD BE YOUR THING.
BUT IF
YOU ARE NOT INTO THAT, YOU NEED THE REVIEW.
I LOOK AT THEM, AND I'M A LITTLE
LESS NAœVE THAN YOU BECAUSE I USED TO LOOK AT THE YELP
REVIEWS BEFORE I REALIZED THEY WERE
BEING TAMPERED WITH TOO.
WHETHER YOU LIKE AMAZON OR DON'T LIKE
AMAZON, THEY HAVE TO DO THIS.
IF THE REVIEWS ARE FAKE, PEOPLE WON'T WANT TO USE AMAZON AS MUCH.
I'M WITH THEM, BREAK SOME HEADS.
YES, THEY SHOULD PROBABLY GO AFTER THE WEBSITE, BUT THAT
IS PROBABLY HARDER.
TARGET INDIVIDUALS, CORPORATIONS VERSUS INDIVIDUALS.
THEY ARE GOING TO STEAMROLL THEM.
