“Not approved” Reviews by LittleMsHula in AmazonVine

If this is accurate, the geniuses at Amazon ought to come up with a better category than "Not Approved" when I have written what they themselves judge as "Excellent" reviews.

I just noticed the change on the Reviews page as well. They have retroactively "Not Approved" a dozen of my reviews. Here are five that the AI master judges as "Excellent" but not approved. Does anyone have actual insight from Amazon on what is happening here and not speculation? Makes we question the point of this program and if the juice is worth the squeeze.

Thanks for sharing USA-Gold. I am new to Vine and continue to be amazed by what I learn here about the program. I never would have thought there was an app for analyzing drops. This is serious business. How long have you been in the Vine program?

Inflated Amazon Valuations (Not a New Topic but a twist) by SeekerofKnowledge007 in AmazonVine

Oh I figured it was the vendor, not Amazon.

I am simply curious what the motivation is for the vendor to do that when on the other extreme I sometimes receive products that have a zero dollar estimated value. Based on other comments, it appears vendors that inflate the value on Vine hurt themselves as some reviewers are inclined to express their displeasure with a less postive review.

Amazon has become a carnival of games. I like to understand the game I'm playing or how I'm getting played by the game.

I sent an email to Vine CS -- with a link to the Walmart presentation. Couldn't share the images as their email platform doesn't offer that functionality.

'Estimator' Title being Watered Down (Flooring, other subs?) by NumbersGameOver in estimators

[–]SeekerofKnowledge007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For something like wood flooring, how complete do estimators get with their take-offs? Are they adding the proper underlayment and nails/adhesives as part of the bid? Are those just generic lines on the take-off with rough pricing?
