Why Is Amazon Sabotaging Writers? — Are They Selling Our Reviews To Our Readers?
After buying our books, they must spend an additional $50 before they can write a review.
I just received a message from someone who purchased a copy of my book: Who Are the Teachers of Hatred.
She is complaining that Amazon is demanding that she spend an additional $50 before she can post her review.
This is the second time someone has purchased a copy of my book and is unable to post a review because Amazon demands that they must buy the review. No reviews means no sale for many of us because reviews play a significant role in getting others to purchase a copy of our book.
So, I concluded that Amazon must be selling these readers a review of our book for $50.
Writers are struggling after spending hours in front of their computers. We are enduring back pain, tiredness, hopelessness, frustration, and burnout, as well as whatever else writers must endure to get their books ready.
