I have often wondered how accurate and true the reviews on Amazon are after a friend mentioned that I should not rely on them as a lot of them were fake.
I found your site after I decided to do some research: https://www.bruceclay.com/blog/googles-product-review-algorithm-update-what-you-need-to-know/
Shockingly, I also found a recent report on an Amazon supplier who leaked data through an open server – it is apparent the supplier gives a full refund directly to their PayPal account if the user leaves a 5-star review.
See the full report here: https://www.safetydetectives.com/blog/amazon-reviews-leak-report/

I am sure most people like me are being scammed by these reviews! Please add to your page to make more people aware!
Stay safe
Olivia

According to Glenn Gabe, he has data from several sites that shows user-generated reviews were impacted, and I have a very large eCom retailer that has seen tremendous shake-ups right around this time (peaking in April then 50%+ loss in May) and a sharp decline in Reviews and Discovery placements that aligns with Glenn’s notes. However, per John Mueller (English Google SEO office-hours from April 9, 2021), the update didn’t specifically target those types of reviews. So, is this an issue of unintended consequences and you have some data that might validate that? Or is it an intended outcome and maybe John Mueller was not 100% up to speed in his notes on the open call? Would love to be able to validate some of what we’re seeing and make some concrete recommendations.
