> there's a good chance you'll eventually get an email asking you to remove the 1-star review in exchange

Wow. I've never given an Amazon product a 1 star review, but if I did, and I got such an email, I would absolutely update my review to warn everyone that this is happening, and that the real average review for the product is likely to be lower than is shown.

I assume many people take the bait. I recently updated my review to warn people what the seller was up to after I gave a 1 star review on a defective third party Apple Watch charger. The seller had contacted me three times to get me to remove my 1 star review.
