Amazon's not "in trouble" because they're not fake reviews. They're real reviews left by purchasers, which get bribed to leave them in most cases.
So it's a real review when someone receives cash to say good things about the product, gotcha.
Stay in context, genius, you know exactly what I mean. Not bot or algorithm can do anything about a review, left by a real customer, with a real acct and purchase history, so yes, it's "real". Not being truthful is another thing.
