hey there fellow posters

i've recently posted the "Not only is this not how anyone writes, I do not understand why anyone would want to read anything that sounds anything like this" post to my lemmy, reddit, or twitter, and let me tell you, it's been a total game-changer

i know this isn't particularly novel but it's just so depressing we have to read this dogshit everywhere now

How do you do, fellow humans?

I'm doing well, just cooling off with my AmazonCommercial HVF20-SP Industrial Fan, 20", which is the perfect size and has multiple settings, which I appreciate as a human shopper looking for a good deal on a great product. It's versatile enough to cool my bedroom OR my warehouse. I love my AmazonCommercial HVF20-SP Industrial Fan, 20". How are you? Are you also enjoying a powerful, yet quiet, cooling experience, my friend?

Would the AmazonCommercial HVF20-SP Industrial Fan, 20" fit a SkyNet T-420 Human Relations Cybernator torso? Asking for a human friend who is having cooling issues.

It's gotta be exhausting to work in a workspace, warehouse, or factory, not knowing which it will be day to day! At least they arrive knowing the random workplace is ventilated!

And "it's great in especially places like Florida", so he clearly has to move around quite a lot.

What a hectic life, poor fellow poster.

Looks like it mysteriously and, more importantly, seamlessly fit in his home garage as well.

Is your beef that the review is fake or that it's poorly written?

Because everybody knows ALL reviews on Amazon are fake. If that's what you find depressing, I guess you've been living under a rock for the past 10 years. It's nothing new...

As for the low quality of the fake review, fear not: AI will soon make all fake reviews literary works of art. You'll soon be able to spend countless hours on Amazon enjoying high-quality machine-written reviews 🙂

ALL

? You can't mean that literally

Enough that reviews are no longer a useful metric

They used to advertise being the only site where fake reviews weren't rampant. Now they have become the same.

And be mindful, they didn't gave up, they just ran the numbers and realized the fake reviews actually are better for their bottom line if not for the consumer. So they just stopped talking about it and let them take control.
