Disgusting. I'd like to be able to rely on reviews before purchasing a product, especially off brand, and we clearly can't anymore. It's really too bad Amazon doesn't have any protocols/ analytics in place to alert and prevent such weird behavior; but I guess upon casual observation they could appear relatively legitimate without connecting the dots. Amazon really is turning into a chinese wish.com dumping ground. Do you think reviewmeta could maybe flag the above (your email) as questionable reviews; meaning those with abnormal 'helpful' review counts and then for the rest returning to 1-2 helpfuls. Not really sure what else could be done or how these could be flagged.

I was looking at dehumidifiers and something about the reviews just seems off to me. Running a reviewmeta test on it comes back clean and to most would seem like legitimate reviews but can't help questioning it; maybe it's just me... https://www.amazon.com/Waykar-Dehumidifier-Basements-Moisture-Continuous/product-reviews/B07VWHR7LQ/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_show_all_btm?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews - All of the top reviews have 5 stars - At least 30-40 people found just these reviews helpful. More recent reviews, only 1-2 people found them useful. - They're all posted within a month or two of each other. - The top most reviews are also the oldest reviews - The reviews read like a commercial or seem to have gone through a google translate. - Looking at some of the other reviews these people have done also seems to be strange such as this one; untypical purchasing imo. Almost seems like Vine type reviews but to build an initial reputation for the product. Again I could just be reading into this too much but seemed a little weird to me.
