@urbanstrata @ericlin @Ephen_Stephen these are the ones I bought https://t.co/1z61SQQ11j — PolitiTweet.org

@ericlin @Ephen_Stephen to be clear, I didn't start trying to run immediately, I did a few weeks of intense walking beforehand. but as soon as I do any jogging, my knees hurt all day. — PolitiTweet.org

@urbanstrata @ericlin @Ephen_Stephen I got fitted for running shoes at a local running shop. they are New Balance stabilized shoes because I have low arches — PolitiTweet.org

@nan cheers, will have to check it out — PolitiTweet.org

@Ephen_Stephen I have, each time I try running for a few minutes at a time my knee flares up and I hobble around for the rest of the day. — PolitiTweet.org
dan seifert @dcseifert
@nan I even do the stretching and walk for a few minutes to loosen up before starting to jog! — PolitiTweet.org

@stanhoraczek i’ve been consistently walking 2 miles every day for almost two months now, but every time i try to throw in a few minutes of jogging, like those couch to 5k schedules, my left knee lights on fire and I hobble around the rest of the day — PolitiTweet.org

@nan brand new, fitted at a running store (i’m barely doing any actual running) — PolitiTweet.org

me: I'm getting of the age where I need to start being more active. I'm going to do daily walks or runs around my neighborhood and maybe get to a place where i can run a 5K. my knees: lol nope — PolitiTweet.org

@WadeMorgen also, I’m not condoning the practice at all. It’s wrong to manipulate reviews and how your product is presented or perceived by an audience. But i also understand why it’s happening and can see that it’s a problem encouraged by Amazon’s own platform and policies. — PolitiTweet.org
dan seifert @dcseifert
@WadeMorgen respect your position, but i think that wildly underestimates Amazon’s dominance among the e-commerce space and the mindshare it has for shoppers. Average people don’t think to look outside of Amazon, _especially_ if they have a Prime account. — PolitiTweet.org

@thatgeekdad @AnkerOfficial well sure, but you can also order from their sites just like you can on Amazon, where there’s a larger selection available. — PolitiTweet.org

@davezatz @StarFire2258 didn't have room in this piece to get into Vine, but yes, I broadly agree it's also problematic. — PolitiTweet.org

@davezatz @StarFire2258 I've had more Anker products fail on me than Ravpower/Aukey/Choetech combined. — PolitiTweet.org

@Olex__Alex i think Amazon is taking action on ones that are brought to its attention directly. — PolitiTweet.org
dan seifert @dcseifert
@thatgeekdad @AnkerOfficial Anker products are available at Best Buy and Target, as well. It’s a bit different than these other brands that were very much Amazon-only, at this point. — PolitiTweet.org
dan seifert @dcseifert
@foadafshari i don’t condone the activity at all. they shouldn’t have been doing it. but i understand why they were and the problem goes beyond “bad actors.” Amazon’s platform and system effectively encourages it. — PolitiTweet.org
dan seifert @dcseifert
@dttft4 yeah, night and day difference, at least with my Mac. i returned the Sonys because the mic quality wasn’t tenable, even though the headphones cost a lot less, were lighter, had longer battery life, etc etc. — PolitiTweet.org

it’s hard to reconcile how removing these companies’ listings, when they were reacting to the incentives *created by Amazon*, is good for consumers. anyways, read the blog, it’s friday afternoon. — PolitiTweet.org
dan seifert @dcseifert
and so, you see cards offering a refund or gift card for a review. in products that are good! they work well, they don’t need bought-for reviews. and then Amazon gets told about the practice and removes them from the store, leaving fewer, worse options for shoppers. — PolitiTweet.org
dan seifert @dcseifert
Amazon will rank well reviewed products higher, giving them much more visibility. More people search for products *directly on Amazon* than do on Google. the pressure for sellers to play this SEO game is real. — PolitiTweet.org
dan seifert @dcseifert
they were bending Amazon’s rules by either paying for or aggressively encouraging customers to post reviews because to succeed on Amazon’s marketplace, that’s what’s needed. a good product sadly can’t stand on its own in a store as big as Amazon. — PolitiTweet.org
dan seifert @dcseifert
on the surface, you would look at this and say “good job Amazon, get those scammers pushing crappy products.” But look closer and you realize that none of these companies are scammers and they all produced good, competitive products. — PolitiTweet.org

i blogged about the disconnect between Amazon pulling brands from its store because they violated its review manipulation rules and the negative impact it has for consumers like you and me: https://t.co/rXH08VpEGA https://t.co/exVbxjsiCw — PolitiTweet.org

@Matt_Volk yes, it’s the only one that allows you to plug the AirPods Max into a headphone jack, like you might find in an airplane seat. — PolitiTweet.org

@davegershgorn it’s like half as thick as an Apple lightning cable, which is already pretty flimsy! — PolitiTweet.org
