The 'review parameters' are no different for Amazon Vine than they are for the rest of the general Amazon community doing reviews. 90% of Amazon Vine reviewers feel they must give 5-star reviews o stay in the program. This is even made worse lately by a shitload of Amazon Viners who have gotten the boot and they've started a massive unsubstantiated rumor campaign that sellers are retaliating against them for anything less than 5-star review. And that amazon is kecking rthem out of Vine just for that. Which is total BS. 98% of Amazon Vine reviews now are are 5-star reviews an 62% of their reviews are written BY AI. I'm an Amazon Vine reviewer and my average review is currently 3.2 stars overt elast 180 days. I get thrown in Vine Jail twice every 180 days for the last 2.5 years and it's not becuse I write sarcastic degrading reviews about shitty products - It's just that I don't write them quick enough. You accusation that Viners have no incentive is right, but they still end up as 5-dtar reviews. I was shopping for something today today and I came across this: https://www.amazon.com/Language-Translator-Upgraded-Languages-Translation/dp/B0H3SK3KVN? As soon as I saw 26 reviews for 5 stars, I knew exactly the source of all those 5-star reviews. Did I buy it? Hell no. My fellow Viners are scammers and most of them immediately resell the products unopened.
