I was looking at a item on Amazon which, I was informed, had 6 customer
reviews.
However, when I tried to read these six reviews Amazon would only show
me one single review & nothing I could think of would reveal the rest.
With so few reviews this was immediately apparent, but if an item had,
say 458 reviews I'm pretty sure I would never notice that some, a few,
or many, of them were being hidden.
I then looked at a few other items, and where (for example) the bar
chart claimed that 13% of all reviews gave it a 2 star ratings, no 2
star reviews were available when I looked for them - hence it isn't just
a single gremlin effecting a single product.
Has anyrat encountered this? Is there some sensible reason why they may
claim "x" reviews but hide many of them from the punters?
Any idea if this is some kind of glitch resulting from them culling
"fake" reviews?
P.S. The item I started out on was
www.amazon.co.uk/Liquid-Elements-Isopropanol-Isopropyl-Degreaser/dp/B07RB5JYMT
reviews.
