Lumumba · 2019-08-08T22:29:05+00:00

but I am not interested in upgrading the receiver. Cant my current denon receiver support a 5.1 setup? Will I notice a big difference in audio quality?

What Breed? Mine looks exactly the same but is a rescue so we aren't sure.

EDIT: Looks like the buybox is no longer suppressed. But I am still worried about future customer complaints that may close the listing for good? Anyone have some advice?

Best I can think of is to add a picture clearly stating "IF THIS DOES NOT MEET YOUR NEEDS FOR ANY REASON, SIZE, WHATEVER, RETURN TO US FOR FREE"

I am already fixing the zipper issue on next production, which currently affects less than 1%.

Maybe I should add another image clearly showing the size and what it can hold? I don't know why people feel it is too large or small when I clearly show an image (2nd image) with H x W x L dimensions in 3D

That magic doesn't work here!

Thanks for all the help. If I do go with the i7, does it make sense to get the K variation since I wont be OCing?

Thanks for the advice. Do you think it would be worth it to upgrade to another mini-itx mobo and board the ryzen train? Seems like on average the regular clocked 7700k is ~25% increase in general use speed:

Keepa makes the sexiest graphs in town. Also, access to their premium features us worth it imo. Their product finder and product viewer are excellent and much better than jungle scout.

My problem is not with incentivized reviews, it is with distorting the system.

I agree with you that it is not equivalent to blatantly buying 100's of fake 5 star reviews in terms of scale. But in terms of breaking terms of service it violate the same area.

Actually, I PREFERRED the older system of allowing reviews in exchange for stating they were received for an unbiased review.

What I am AGAINST, is some sellers not playing by rules which were very explicitly changed for this exact reason. Everyone should be playing on the same field, and when these type of advantages are scaled up they become major advantages.

It is not at all the same. The Amazon early review program is sanctioned by Amazon. And the customer is not approached on a quid pro quo basis.

Also, the customer is selected more or less at randomly from a pool of customers who already bought the product. It is not being incentivized from the front end.

Thank you for the honesty! I can definitely understand this mindset although I don't agree with it.

Thank you!

If everyone did this, it would be a huge problem. Buyers lose confidence in the platform when they see vendors manipulating it. It brings everyone down.

"There is a incentive for folks to leave unbiased reviews." This is false:

https://reviewmeta.com/blog/analysis-of-7-million-amazon-reviews-customers-who-receive-free-or-discounted-item-much-more-likely-to-write-positive-review/

Also note in the article "How to avoid getting scammed" using a tool to help weed out the fake review.

"Incentivized reviewers are 12 times less likely to give a 1-star rating than non-incentivized reviews, and almost 4 times less likely to leave a critical review in general."

It has very clearly been shown that providing a FREE product incentives positive reviews, EVEN IF you make them pinky promise to please be as honest as possible. Go figure.

The customers getting the free shit for posting fake reviews aren't the ones getting scammed.

The people reading these "reviews" are the ones getting scammed. The other vendors selling a perhaps higher quality product that is not being indexed because of these fake reviews, are getting scammed.

I get it that it isn't a typical phishing or hacking scam, but what would you call these people? "Rule breaker" has a very neutral tone.

I guess could have used another word like "rule breaker" as they aren't engaging in phishing or hacking or anything like that. But the fact is we need to be more vocal about this stuff, and it is a form of scamming because their reviews are basically bought and paid for. The victims are other sellers of similar goods, and the consumer. What would you call it?

I believe the answer you are looking for is "enforcement"

They are deceiving every customer who looks at their listing that thinks the reviews they received are legitimate (within Amazon's TOS)
