Part 3/8:
Evidence of Review Manipulation
Screenshots from recent days reveal a stark contrast. On September 21st, the Rings of Power review page showed over 15,000 global reviews, with 29% being one-star scores. Fast forward 24 hours, and nearly 5,000 reviews—mainly negative—disappeared suddenly, bringing the total reviews down to about 3,600.
The removal of such a large portion of negative reviews suggests coordinated censorship, with some reviewers reporting that even reviews already approved and posted by Amazon were later deleted or rendered inaccessible. For instance, individuals like Josiah Rises and others shared screenshots showing that their previously approved reviews had vanished, with the platform claiming they "could not find that page."
