Lol who exactly do you think would assume the burden of the cost of hired product review staff?

Amazon derives a lot of value from the reviews on their site. They can put people who are skeptical about a product at ease and lead to a purchase, for example.
If hesitation from bad reviews was a substantial blocker they would have addressed it by now.

Most people don’t give a shit.

I was talking about hesitation from no reviews, i.e. no "objective" source on the quality of the product.
