With Amazon there's also the problem of them combining reviews of entirely different products into a single product's page. I have no idea why they do this. There are also sellers who switch the product on the page while keeping the positive reviews for an earlier product.
This right here. It should be illegal to do this. I discovered this I think last year and it blew my mind, it's straight up misleading the consumer.
I avoid those as soon as I notice the signs, but I've found less and less instances over time (which is a relief since there used to be loads of pages like that). I thought I read somewhere it's against Amazon's own rules to do this. Not 100% sure though.
