I tend to only write reviews on yelp, but they are all either 5 or 1 stars. This is because I’m not motivated to review something unless I love or hate it.

My guess is you should factor the sheer volume of purchases here as well. She’s definitely not leaning on the middle of the bell curve either way, which should prompt investigation from Amazon.

However, I’m not sure Amazon has any motivation to clear these kinds of things up. Fake reviews at least for now don’t seem to be hurting their business model.
