Like everybody else my intense concern that Amazon is trying to take over the world has not stopped me at all from buying increasingly more stuff from them.  I admire the company and really appreciate the product reviews – which I depend upon.  And again like most folks who think about it for 10 seconds, I focus on the negative ones. I also try to leave an honest and insightful review if I think it would help someone else to share my product experience.

Lately, however I’ve had two review rejected. You might find this amusing.

The first was rejected for foul language – it was a very positive review for a small device called a : WYCTIN Helping Hand.  It was very short – better cover your ears and make sure there are no children in the room. Here we go.

Do I have a first amendment case or what!

The next one has me a little confused. It was for a WaveShare Motor Shield HAT for a Raspberry Pi.  I was critical of a very poorly written, incomplete set of instructions.  I did find some very helpful info in a YouTube video and I included the URL – and that was what apparently did me in.  It seems Amazon does not want anyone to know there is a world beyond their server where actual help might be found.  Do you suppose they hate Google that badly?

By the way, the URL I linked was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omm6_QxtJ04 which I include here just because Amazon didn’t like it.  My inner-adolescent way of rebelling, I guess.
