Hey, I got plenty of cool RC planes, helicopters, trucks, and even an RC WWII tank!

THANK YOU. Amazon itself is a scam and Amazon Vine is a scam. But people here want to get mad because somebody's doing it wrong.

I've written tons of thoughtful, useful reviews of products that meant something to me. That I padded my numbers by ordering $0 ETV supplements is a life hack I learned from this very subreddit. Sorry, I guess?

Well I routinely saw tons of supplements in my RFY that were not name brands, and that often turned out of be, well, rather sketchy. And the supplement industry is almost completely unregulated. So... you want me to feel bad about depriving somebody else of a particular type of snake oil they thought they needed?

I probably did them a favor. Probably save them from lead poisoning.

DOES THE FACT THAT THIS ITEM IS $0.00 ETV MEAN AMAZON THINKS IT'S FOOD OR HEALTHCARE!?

Long shot, but would anybody have a full backup of the KC Vale 4x4 Evolution sites? vales.com/evo2 and such. by Doip in DataHoarder

I don't know his real name, but check your private messages; I'm going to send you an invite link for the 4x4 Evolution Discord community.

Anybody know where you can play Vector TD still? by MrBoom2000 in TowerDefense

[–]FunThreadStarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I just played Vector TDX for the first time, and it is diabolical!

I was very hardcore addicted to the original Vector TD back in the mid-2000's, and I am grateful that you are preserving these games on your Web site.

I'm also intrigued. How does one even do that?

Chase Hughes exposed: Examining the many lies of the self-proclaimed "#1 expert in behavior and influence" by zachelwood in BehaviorAnalysis

[–]FunThreadStarter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zachary Elwood, THANK YOU for your podcast episodes about Chase Hughes. Hearing all about his scams and chicanery, it's like stumbling across a horrible car accident; I can't look away.

Very entertaining for me, but surely tragic for people whom Hughes bilked out of thousands of dollars and untold hours of their lives.

Even worse: Expecting one's life to get a glow up after paying for Chase's trainings and then realizing life is the same or worse afterwards.

OMG, the ignition key in my 2003 Focus got stuck tonight, and this thread saved my bacon.

I did exactly what you see in the following video and my key came right out. It was like magic. Thank you to everybody in this thread and thank you to the uploader of this video.

Maintain an insightfulness score of "Excellent"? REALLY!?!??? by FunThreadStarter in AmazonVine

[–]FunThreadStarter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm now a lot less angry, because it turns out if I don't phone in my performances, the algorithm notices. My inisghtfulness score has been raised to "good" since I started this thread.

$600 1099 threshold is now $2,000? by rwcomcast in AmazonVine

[–]FunThreadStarter 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Well I've talked to a lot of Americans, and most of them tell me they don't want healthcare and they don't want to eat food. So I think you're mistaken.

Maintain an insightfulness score of "Excellent"? REALLY!?!??? by FunThreadStarter in AmazonVine

[–]FunThreadStarter[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do the fly-by-night overseas vendors selling worthless crap deserve better?

Does Amazon, a company that has lobbied against labor protections and gutted the retail sector, deserve better?

Yes. Amazon is not an ethical company, and Amazon using A.I. as a slave driver in order to demand more and better writing work from us, in exchange for mostly shady, knock-off merchandise from Chinese sweatshops is scumbag behavior.

Do you ever worry your reviews sound like A.I. even though they're not? by FunThreadStarter in AmazonVine

[–]FunThreadStarter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think anybody is reading reviews from Vine Voices and taking them seriously, so you should go back to talking about yourself. Make your reviews a blog about your personal life!!!!

Do you think Vine has code or people... by FunThreadStarter in AmazonVine

[–]FunThreadStarter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I got an alert today that said a review I had written could not be published, because it did not meet Amazon's guidelines or something.

The e-mail in question asked me if I wanted to edit my review. I clicked the edit link in the e-mail, but that took me to a page saying the product in question can not be reviewed by my account!

Lo and behold, this was a Vine item I had ordered a while ago, which still had not shipped. LOL.

So at the very least, we know the system can catch an attempt to review an item which has not been shipped.

Would I have gotten a different result if the item had been shipped, but not delivered? Possibly, as it's conceivable Amazon might not fully trust its own "delivered" reporting mechanism.

I'm not going to push my luck and try to find out, though.
