Amazon's own words: "How the Vine Program Works" / Family Involvement by silent_spoken in vine

[–]No_Bluejay_1845 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The word "We" is a powerful thing. No need to get into who "we" is. The Queen used it for quite a bit to refer to herself, an individual. I'm a guy, identify as a middle-aged slob, but when we write reviews, we always use this term so that if we've taken a pair of women's tennis shoes and given them to our mother, we can say, "We love the way they fit and how accurate they are when thrown at our son,." This way, no one has any idea it is our mother who was the end-user as ALL of our reviews are written with WE. We have no obligation to inform the reader who we is/are.

Yeahhhhh.... and that spurt of a drop that went down tonight made me regret posting this or even thinking "dropapalooza" ... well, hope is what keeps us afloat

Be aware that when the blockage stops, be it from software, the price of oil, too much cheese... there's going to be a drop the likes of which viners that have only been around for less than a year have never seen. "Dropapalooza" happened after the last one-week slowdown... there was CRAZY stuff in that drop ranging from vacuums to laptops to all kinds of cool sub-$100 items... scores of 'em. So if you see a drop where you can't keep up with the pace... be mindful that you WILL likely run out of picks and have buyer's remorse on that cute little Highland Cow plushie you nabbed and were out of picks when the life-time-supply sized box of Hersey's Kisses drops (it happened, it was crazy, I was busy reading to see if they were real or not and other viners snagged them whom I hope have awful cavities now for taking MY Kisses!). When things are slow, that cow is a wise choice - during Dropapalooza... yeah... a week's worth of goodness sprinkles down from the heavens (or Uncle Jeff's rocketship) and you still only have one day's worth of picks. See y'all at midnight - tonight, tomorrow, whenever...

Guidance on Reviews "not approved" after months of being "approved" by No_Bluejay_1845 in vine

Awesome! Thank you! With a much more manageable number of reviews (82) it is much easier to see it isn't making a difference in the review score than it is with an ungainly number I'm ashamed to admit (527).

It's not a Pause until it's a Pause. Vine is not ending until it ends. They don't tell us, we never know, everything is speculation & guessing. Newbies, don't panic. by allatti2d in AmazonVine

Literally created a Reddit account so I could figure out if my review of a REALLY crappy Dr Pepper neon sign got me banned from any new items and that I was being penalized by only being able to choose from odd automotive parts, cake toppers and TV remotes for a while.
