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. 😠

@cmskiera So true. I just started reading "Chokepoint Capitalism." The second chapter is titled, "How Amazon Took Over Books."

My dealings with them over the years (buying and selling) have been consistently bad, @ShaneArtBooks

Amazon Prime has turned into nothing more than a shakedown racket--an Amazon tax.

@cmskiera I'm trying my best to increase my book sales on platforms other then Amazon. Like most authors, the majority of my sales are on Amazon.
