I think it&#x27;s safe to assume that the many fluff pieces in the tech media are the result of a PR campaign to paint Amazon as the good guy cleaning up those bad people selling fake reviews (&quot;the moral high ground&quot;). But of course there&#x27;s no mention of the fact that they&#x27;ve turned a blind eye to them for years, and  they&#x27;re only now shutting them down to eliminate competition for their new paid review product.
