Did Amazon do this on purpose or was this an honest mistake?
Do what? lol
Damn was writing my journal when this vid got me stopped randomly lol

Amazon is such an odd company. They make the dumbest moves with it's sellers and yet it always seems to work out for them as a whole.
They tend to forget how they got to where they are.
They are funded by the government thats why
@@skunklabs_official Yeah I agree by being good to customers, ever since Jeff left its been going downhill. Jeff started it all
He’s nowhere to be found now.
@@skunklabs_official Jeff? likes to be away from everyone, hes with woman on a yacht somewhere near an island most likely. He only stepped down from Amazon CEO when the government put him on the spot, where he couldn't really answer most of the stuff they asked him.
Since then he has wanted to just be left alone, he still get revenue from Amazon because he still owns it, but CEO Andy something takes over all the legal stuff and controls the whole narrative now, until such time Jeff wants it back, but I doubt it, he wants to live out the rest of his life on a yacht with beautiful woman or women lol /sigh lucky man.
Immensely thought out! Wow love it!
Thank you
i like it - your style comes across well
Thank you
good vibe coming out from your vids
We try to spread the love.
Good vibes from this vid
🙏
1:37 "Isn't adult" LOL, sellers certainly don't follow that on Vine.
LOL
I think it's aimed at Chinese sellers whose economics are a bit different.
As in they are buying less reviews?
The costs of participating in the traditional Vine program cost more to them. The lower-cost mini-version is much less painful financially for them. This explains the influx of Chinese "Alphabet soup" items Vine reviewers are complaining about.
This makes sense
Browsing on TH-cam and came across it a bit randomly. Good one though
💪
I like it😍😍😍😍

ahhhhhhh....
Right back at you. Good luck in your Amazon FBA journey.
The sound of the video is so so Id say
🤷🏻♂️
How so? Clear sounds, including S sounds. You can hear the room echo as well.
Luckily we aren’t sound experts 😂

Anyone with some common sense and basic grasp of psychology will avoid a product with great reviews generated from free products. The psychology of leaving a review for something you got for free is completely different and cannot be deemed credible , i don't care what anybody says contrary to that , it's just true. What business brain at Amazon thought of this disaster ?
It works to an extent. People don’t quite understand what the vine program even is so most just glance over it. Some don’t even look to see if they are verified or not
It may be true for some people, but that's not entirely true at all. I even use to feel the same way myself about Vine reviews and wouldn't even read them, until I actually became a Vine reviewer. If it's a bad product I will absolutely wreck that thing in the review and I always give my true feelings whether good, bad or indifferent. A lot of sellers will even say that they feel that Vine reviewers are more critical and picky that an average person. We go into more detail of the product and will point out a lot more than an average person, which is supposed to be our purpose. However there are definitely people in the program, and I see them all the time myself, that write reviews that sound like a hyped up robotic infomercial. The easiest way to look at them is if the reviewer talks in a normal and relaxed way in the review, then you can trust them. If the review is written like a professional infomercial script, then I would ignore the sh!t out of it.
You speak truth
Exact same.
I'm a Vine reviewer. I see some other Vine reviewers giving overly positive reviews. There is no real incentive to do this, but it happens.
However, that's not the whole story. Many other Vine reviewers are very honest, and give straight reviews.
I also evaluate the credibility of Vine reviews on a case-by-case basis. You can usually tell when there is a very honest voice speaking.
As I come to understand this program better, I am feeling more and more free to tell it exactly how it is.
That said, I am still aware that there are human beings trying to make a living selling their products on Amazon. I'm not going to take lightly saying something negative. I feel a responsibility to be fair, both to the sellers and to the readers.
If there's something wrong with a product, I'll say so. It's only fair to the readers. The same applies to positive aspects of a product.
I'm arriving at a balanced approach that feels pretty good. So I think Amazon has something valid going on here. My reviews have become very centric and responsible.
thumbs up

I found out that they invite people randomly based on their reviews, then after a few years they will find an excuse to get rid of you to invite other people instead, then it will go round and round like a circle, whilst this can be positive as you get free products, you can't really sell them for 6 months and on top of that, they wil discard you in the worst way possible, by saying your reviews suck basically and we no longer want you. This is how they treat the public and consumer, they don't care about you your family or your pets, they only care about money and making money, and what's in their best interest not .
If I were everyone I would stop reviewing in total, because they control your reviews and what you say, they are no longer freedom of speech like they used to be. We vote with our wallets, stop reviewing and stop giving Amazon your time. Trust me on that.
We see why they wouldn't want you to resell the products within a certain time period. Keep in mind that when brands sign up to this program their expectation is that the products won't be resold. Obviously this happens off of amazon on platforms like ebay. I HIGHLY advise not reselling ON Amazon as the brand will have a serious issue with that. From our experience some VINE reviewers have been great while others have no business reviewing products. We have a large sample size to back up this opinion and the system is broken on both sides. If people would buy products they actually want to use and the sellers of the products put out a quality product, everyone would be happy in the end. But it's not a perfect world by any stretch.
@@skunklabs_official Well I can tell you for a fact Amazon are getting more harsh on vine users to make better reviews and if you keep getting flagged as breaking the 1 of millions of rules they warn you then you get banned. They warned me today lol
I see how it is, sellers spend £120 on Amazon vine to put upto 30 slots of products in one slot, then if vine users give out bad reviews sellers just argue with Amazon and our reviews get taken down and we are warned, what is the point of vine reviewers if you cannot be brutally honest? a product can be so crap yet Amazon expect you to minimum give it a 3/5 I've had to up my reviews and Amazon are happy with it.
See where I'm going with this? Amazon are terrible.
This is the first time I’m hearing that sellers have the ability to argue reviews from vine. We are actually told we can’t even reach out to vine specific reviewers for clarification when needed. Very odd
I am seeing a lot of HATE CONTENT on Vine in the most random sections.
Right now the garden section is full of flags that are disgusting and at the worst are very much pushing conspiracies and far right hate content. It makes me sick.
It's the garden section!! What the hell is going on and why is Amazon promoting this??
@@amarketing8749 Who knows m8 who knows.
Always
Yet another terribly executed program by the geniuses on the amazon team.
The Amazon FBA Team isn't always acting in our best interest.
@@skunklabs_official *Never acting on our best interest. They treat buyer like royalty and sellers like trash. I have had nothing but bad experiences from the Amazon support team since I started. And every time I contact them, I feel like i'm explaining to them what their programs and procedures are. Seller "support" is non-existent.
Their ignorance is their armor
IDK. From my perspective as a Vine reviewer, the program has some validity. It has some flaws, sure. But it's not in the interests of truth to exclusively emphasize the flaws or the negatives, and ignore the positives.
There are positives, and the whole-truth perspective includes those.
I see this all over the place - some people cherry-picking only the negatives, and some people cherry-picking only the positives.
The truth includes both.
