The downside of this approach is for sellers to use this as a weapon. Pay people to buy a competitor's product and give it a nasty 1 star review. It becomes an arms race.

It is also super annoying when there are reviews like "came in three days not two. 1 STAR!!!" that are not product related. This doesn't even get into the commingling of product which is the real problem.
