While it is possible that a reviewer could have purchased the product elsewhere and left a review on Amazon at a later date, without purchase verification, it is impossible to tell.

In our opinion, the most trustworthy reviews come from consumers who actually purchase the product with their own money and leave real feedback on the quality of the product and shopping experience.</p> </div> </div> <div class="fs-faq-box" id="main-12"> <div class="dm1 fs-faq-question"> Why are Amazon Discount Disclaimer reviews considered unreliable?<img class="fs-toggle-arrow fs-toggle-down" src="https://i.fakespot.io/assets/products/black_arrow-28aefeb9be3ada4a3dfc7cf5dc619da882984fac4b0960af15f4329d57c8b7ec.svg"> </div> <div class="dm2 fs-faq-answer"> <p>We flag Discount Disclaimer reviews because these reviews are essentially paid reviews. Even if there is a disclaimer by the reviewer, all we know for sure is that (1) the reviewer did not pay full price for the product, and (2) the reviewer may not have even considered to buy the product if not for the promotion. Most reviewers who leave promotional reviews rarely leave only one promotional review. We have found that some discount reviewers manipulate their own Amazon reviewer profile by carefully sprinkling in one and two-star reviews in order to appear truly objective, which is why reviewers who leave promotional reviewers cannot be considered reliable. In fact, Amazon has recently banned discount disclaimer reviews altogether. You can read the new guidelines from Amazon <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=pl&tl=sl&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId%3D201929730" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> </div> </div> <div class="fs-faq-box" id="main-13"> <div class="dm1 fs-faq-question"> Why are Amazon Vine reviews considered unreliable?<img class="fs-toggle-arrow fs-toggle-down" src="https://i.fakespot.io/assets/products/black_arrow-28aefeb9be3ada4a3dfc7cf5dc619da882984fac4b0960af15f4329d57c8b7ec.svg"> </div> <div class="dm2 fs-faq-answer"> <p>Amazon Vine Reviews are flagged because we believe the Amazon Vine program ("Vine") is flawed and opaque. Vine is a pay-for-reviews program run by Amazon where Amazon Sellers give away free products to Vine reviewers. This helps to seed Amazon sellers' product listings with reviews. Vine reviewers do not purchase the products they review leading to inherent biases in the reviews they post that are difficult to reconcile when compared to a review from an actual buyer.<br><br><strong>Vine History for Amazon Sellers</strong><br><br> 2019: Vine opened up to third-party sellers (sellers who send their inventory to Amazon for Amazon to fulfill the orders, aka FBA) and they could participate for free. Their only cost at this time was the cost of the free goods they provided Vine reviewers.<br><br> Prior to October 12, 2021: Only Amazon first-party sellers/vendors (aka brands that sell inventory to Amazon) paid steep enrollment fees of $2,500 to $7,500 per product/ASIN to participate in Vine.<br><br> After October 12, 2021: Amazon also required third-party sellers to pay a fee to $200 per parent product/ASIN.<br><br> These fees make Vine a pay-for-review program administered by Amazon itself. Amazon also uses the Vine program to seed reviews for its own products.<br><br><strong>Vine Reviewers</strong><br><br> For Vine reviewers, it is an invite-only program, and participants are supposedly chosen at random by Amazon to join the program. All Vine reviewers get free products to review.<br><br> In addition, as an Amazon Vine reviewer, you can list a public email and receive more solicitations for reviews from vendors not in the Vine program. This means a Vine reviewer who leaves a lot of positive reviews is likely to be sought after by sellers who want positive reviews to promote their products.<br><br> Source:<br><a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=pl&tl=sl&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.junglescout.com/blog/amazon-vine-program/" target="_blank">https://www.junglescout.com/blog/amazon-vine-program/</a><br><a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=pl&tl=sl&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.amazon.com/vine/about" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/vine/about</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="fs-faq-box" id="main-14"> <div class="dm1 fs-faq-question"> Why is Fakespot for Safari not working for me?<img class="fs-toggle-arrow fs-toggle-down" src="https://i.fakespot.io/assets/products/black_arrow-28aefeb9be3ada4a3dfc7cf5dc619da882984fac4b0960af15f4329d57c8b7ec.svg"> </div> <div class="dm2 fs-faq-answer"> <p>We are assuming you have very strict privacy and security Mac settings:<br><br></p> <ol> <li>Download the extension from the Mac App Store.</li> <li>You will get a message after downloading the extension that it was successfully installed.</li> <li>Open Safari.</li> <li>You will see a drop-down message below the URL bar that says "New Extension Available Do you want to turn on "Fakespot"?</li> <li>Click the button "Turn on Extension".</li> <li>You will get the extension walk-through but nothing is showing on the demo Amazon page for Airpods Pro.</li> <li>Find the Fakespot Extension Icon.
