A Question

How can you trust votes on reviews when there are people like this advertising their services (seemingly with impunity)?

How to Get into the Top 500 on Amazon

Want to know how to get into the top 500?  Maybe even sneak up on the top 100?

Write the same review.  Over and over again.  And post it on EVERY product in a category.  Even if it is incredibly generic doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the specific model of product being reviewed.

Oh yeah, and don't forget those 5 shiny yellow stars!

(No, seriously, what if one of these Chromebooks sucks and some of the others are amazing?  How would anyone ever know?  Not all Chromebooks are created equal!)

January 14 Edit: Amazon removed all these reviews overnight (links won't work; don't click them).  But there's still a lot of repetitive crap on this guy's profile.
