The WSJ is running a series of articles on the Big Tech companies and some of their issues. Last week, they had some articles that focused on Amazon and it's long time policy of basically abdicating their catalog management to the various sellers. It's something that I've complained about with regards to ebooks for a long time.
Amazon has long had issues with sellers gaming the review process. It's an natural by product of Amazon's business model. In general, if a product is over a certain amount of money, I don't use Amazon's internal comparisons or ratings to decide what to buy.
