I've written reviews of books & products for several years which I post in several places, including Amazon. Then I got a message from Amazon that I "violated community guidelines" & my reviews would not be posted. I asked why. Here's what the Zon Support said.
<<As per the updated guidelines, you must have spent $50 on Amazon.com, using a credit or debit card, in the past 12 months.>>
Forget about porn or hate speech. Not spending money on the Zon is the real violation. ðŸ˜
Amazon is the worst, @ShaneArtBooks 🤬 Monopolies suck.
@cmskiera So true. I just started reading "Chokepoint Capitalism." The second chapter is titled, "How Amazon Took Over Books."
Chokepoint Capitalism is so good, and so necessary! I'm glad to see it's still being read and spread widely.
(If you're anything like me while reading it, don't forget to take breaks from fuming! It's empowering, but so much of what's plainly stated in it is deeply frustrating first.)
@MLClark @cmskiera So true! I have to be in the right state of mind to read it, else my blood pressure goes up!
