Woohoo top 1000! I am not nearly that high. But, I have been taking a break. I seemed to have gotten on a crappy product crappy seller kick lately. I am finishing up some of my reviews and will try this again later.

I irony, I am getting no approvals because I am behind from months ago. I suppose I could get caught up and get rolling again... some of the supplements I got were crap, though.

Just an FYI. I joined to see if there was anything I wanted. You have to supply your permalink to your amazon account. Well there is nothing I want and I won't remember to look at it so Just tried to find a way to delete my account or remove my permalink. Yeah, it can't be done.

I sent an email to see if they will do it for me but from everything I have been able to find they don't respond.

Anyone still doing these? I haven't in a loooong time but I did get an email from Snagshout recently saying it's. Ow against Amazon terms to offer discounts for reviews. Made me wonder if anyone is still doing it somehow or if it was a "good while it lasted" thing.

I haven't lately, but I saw that, too. I know some were still doing it, though I don't quite know how they work around it. I hit a Top 1000 Reviewer status there for awhile, I hit 712 at my lowest, I think. I HAD over 2.4k upvotes, but Amazon recounted somehow and I dropped to 1.9k. I don't know what the change was, as I have not been active lately.

I pretty much stopped. It seemed like the more popular it got, the crappier the items were. I don't have time to keep up with everything and kind of drowning in real life so I just kinda stopped. I still owe a review somewhere but I really just don't care enough to remember who/what/where.

Amazon removed a ton of reviews & items that were offered for reviews so thats probably why it dropped.

I logged in randomly last week, ordered a kid's costume for 99 cents, reviewed it, the item got deleted and I got a warning email that that's against TOS now. I guess you can buy cheap but if you leave a review on something you got a huge discount for, which they obviously can see, it's not good. So yeah, it seems like everything offered is complete junk now. I did like the little superhero costume though.

Yeah, I finally went to the reviewer's forum and saw that they were deleting the reviews. While I get the spirit of the intent, mine were VERY honest and varied. Some of my most popular reviews were my honest opinions on some nasty "essential oils". I spent a great deal of time doing research for these reviews and put a lot of time and energy into them. I must assume they did not make the cut, which sucks. I've lost even more since I posted, the Amazon purge. I'm down to 1.7k.

FTR, many of my "for consideration" reviews are still up AND some still have upvotes. They are the negative ones.

If anyone were so inclined... I need some likes on my reviews again... https://smile.amazon.com/gp/profile/...8&preview=true can you go to my Amazon account and like some of my reviews? pretty please?
