3. There's a lot of cheap Chinese crap on Amazon.

Including knock-off products. I think Amazon removes those when they're spotted but that's an endless, losing job.

And the entire cosmetics section I'm convinced is filled with fake positive reviews. I bought one thing and they sent a little notice with it saying I'd get some discount on a next purchase if I gave a 5-star review. If that's not buying reviews, I don't know what is.
