Should Amazon give people rewards for writing reviews n products that they purchased?

Question

I've been shopping on Amazon for years, but the only time I actually write reviews on products is if it comes with a reward, like an extended warranty or a free gift. I've seen so many products fail because of a lack of reviews. Maybe Amazon can give people points for submitting reviews and the points can be redeemed for gift cards, and the amount of points should be based on how expensive the product was. Products get more reviews, people know what they're buying, people can get more money to shop with. I don't know, just an idea that I got when the camcorder I bought offered me a $15 Amazon gift card and a 4 year warranty for a review.

It's not even legal to write a review that promotes a product you were paid to review without disclosing that you were paid. The FTC charged several bloggers fines in the $10k+ amount for that so I wouldn't rush to give reviews if it's not clearly indicated you were paid. The FTC could always come for you later.

The Main Purpose is to write a review about the company and tell others ahead of time how good (or bad) your experience was with a product. You should want to review a product depending on how good or bad it is. It lets companies know the pressure is on to do a good job because others will know about the experience. Money shouldn't be the main reason.

A lot of small businesses will send business cards in the package telling people to write a review and they'll pay them. I've done it many times on amazon. Even got 20 dollars once for a product that I spend 22 dollars on so basically got my money back.

No, Amazon reviews are a scam and can't be trusted. These places that pay people some cash or reward for reviews have ruined the credibility of the review sections of most sites. Reviews can no longer be trusted. Many of them are pay for play.

Most reviews online are fake nowadays, so it would be stupid to reward those fake reviews further.

Yes obviously, but no website rewards you for reviews. They hope 'likes' make you feel good. I had a top 500 reviewer badge on Amazon. It was pretty pointless and only inflated my ego when writing reviews

Yes, by purchasing something from Amazon one should receive rewards by getting an Amazon gift card especially if you give good views on a product

Well, when you make product advertisement for free amazon will take and use it.

I never sell my review. It lacks integrity. You seem like a grubby person.

No, that would lead to inaccurate reviews. People would only leave reviews to get free stuff meaning all the reviews are fake.
