Part 5/9:
Delving into review patterns exposes potential orchestrations designed to skew perceptions. "Top reviews" on Amazon tend to be positive, with descriptions like "generic," "okay," or "boring," and often seem disconnected from the overall sentiment of the community discussion.
Conversely, negative reviews—particularly one-star ratings—are abundant but are conspicuously less prominent in Amazon's curated "top reviews" section. For example, reviews posted as recently as the current day, which contain harsh criticisms, are less visible or seemingly suppressed amid a flood of older, more forgiving reviews. Notably, reviews with a substantial number of helpful votes often lean toward the negative, yet these are not showcased prominently, suggesting deliberate filtering.
