Part 3/11:
Compounding the issue, Amazon appeared to manipulate reviews across platforms—most notably on IMDb and their own website—by suppressing critical feedback. Reviews were either filtered out or outright hidden, creating a skewed perception of audience reception.

The company's response to the backlash has been seen as disingenuous and heavy-handed, further alienating fans and critics.
