Eli Reiter:

I didn’t intend to become a liar for hire, a purveyor of fake news on that terrible site, Amazon. But I knew I went too far when I woke up shrouded by my untruths. My blanket, pillows, and even my duvet were a lie. The pajamas, my night light, the Christmas lights that I hung on the wall: all falsehoods.

The more I reviewed, the more the Facebook accounts asked me to review. It became a daily ritual.

The black market for Amazon reviews makes some sense if you consider how valuable positive reviews can be to sellers on the platform.

Yet another reason to not trust Amazon reviews.
