So you know how Amazon will often take pictures of packages they deliver to your house or whatever? This morning as I was leaving for work one of the drivers was also dropping off a package for me. She just handed it to me directly. I asked her if she wanted to take her proof-of-delivery photo and she did. I held up the package and did a 👍 for her.

Amused with myself I began eagerly awaiting to see my photo immortalized in Amazon app. However, when I just checked the delivery in the app, my photo was nowhere to be found…

So Amazon lets me quote reputable sources if they’ve added their review elsewhere.

I was thinking of adding this to my diaries 2018 book:

How merchants use Facebook to flood Amazon with fake reviews

SAN FRANCISCO — On Amazon, customer comments can help a product surge in popularity. The online retail giant says that more than 99 percent of its reviews are legitimate because they are written by real shoppers who aren’t paid for them.

But a Washington Post examination found that for some popular product categories, such as Bluetooth headphones and speakers, the vast majority of reviews appear to violate Amazon’s prohibition on paid reviews. Such reviews have certain characteristics, such as repetitive wording that people probably cut and paste in.

Many of these fraudulent reviews originate on Facebook, where sellers seek shoppers on dozens of networks, including Amazon Review Club and Amazon Reviewers Group, to give glowing feedback in exchange for money or other compensation. The practice artificially inflates the ranking of thousands of products, experts say, misleading consumers.

Seems to me that Amazon should only publish reviews from verified buyers.

Just now I have:

1- linked the family room Fire TV with the Echo Dot also in the family room and 2- linked the kitchen Fire TV stick with the Echo also in the kitchen.

I feel like Tom Hanks after he made fire in Cast Away.
