> Honestly - Amazon really needs some serious lawsuits to force it to stop being such a bad actor in the online retail space.
I think Amazon they would say that they are not a bad actor at all and in fact are providing a meaningful service to consumers and are a major driver of the economy and besides it isn't really a problem because AI[1] yadda yadda yadda.
The truth is:
a. fake reviews make them money, and
b. almost no matter how bad fake reviews get on Amazon, people will continue to dump dopamine into their brains by buying shiny baubles that they might never take out of the box. The "joy" is in purchasing these things, not actually using them.
