It's different because it has Amazon randomly selecting who gets paid to write a review, and the reviewer doesn't have any incentive to lie since they get the $10 regardless.

Sellers are currently paying people (in money and product) for 5 star reviews, which is exactly the problem I'm trying to solve.



The seller merely includes a promotion - leave a good review, receive a gift card (or straight up refund for cheaper products).

Your system may have minor chance of success if there was no way for the sellers to contact customers.
