I think this is the crux of it. Spam is a lot harder to track than most people realize. Written spam is still a thing in email 30 years later. There's a solution to this but I assume it's a cat and mouse game. To think Amazon just doesn't care about the authors getting scammed is foolish. Without a lot of human involvement this is a very big problem space. One could accuse the program of being poorly thought out but I think that the idea that no one cares about the issue is disingenuous.
