Happened to me when I saw a book on the US site, I wasn't able to see all reviews, but there was a button to sort-of "apply" to get approved for seeing all of them.

It took five days, then I got this email.

Interestingly, they're not doing this on the European site, you can still see all reviews there.

I also think they're more cautious about the EU. There are less consumer protection laws in the US, so they get fucked first.

We don’t really have less laws. Just far less enforcement mechanisms. For instance I am supposed to be able to use my own modem, the FCC rules prevent ATT from forcing me to rent a modem. But the FCC hasn’t given a shit about anything since the 80s. So ATT forces me to rent a modem. Laws are only as good as their enforcement.

My favorite example is the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act, which requires manufacturers to honor warranty on products that you or a third party have worked on in the past unless the manufacturer can prove that the specific malfunction for which you're seeking warranty service was caused by the previous repair or modification.

Those "warranty void if removed" stickers are illegal.

It also prohibits manufacturers refusing to repair a product due to unrelated damage.

I'm in the US. Not once have I seen or even heard of this happening before.

I'm guessing it's something only being done to the EU when trying to look at Amazon from other countries, or just when looking at other Amazon's outside your own country.

A/B testing, dont worry you'll get it son enough.

it always amazes me that people don't understand AB tests. It's always you're crazy, youtube works fine or facebook doesn't do that. Almost no one seems to understand a webpage isn't always the same for every viewer.
