Well, while I am a "reviewer on Amazon", I also review on sites that are not opposed to paid reviews as long as they are disclosed as such. So it's more complicated than just Amazon's rules, but I acknowledge I didn't clarify that in my ramble above.
But that is immaterial since I don't accept payment for reviews, and I have no interest in running a vendetta against people who make offers that are in all probability made in good faith. Most of them just realize that they're asking for 8+ hours of a reviewer's life and they're trying to offset that burden.
