  Vevor give 'influencer' freebies en masse as some sort of shill ad. It is really obvious if you search for a product review.

  Of all the bad brands that sell on Amazon. Vevor is kinda ok though.

  So is Amazon. Some years ago i tried to give a negative review for an HP laptop. Amazon said it was not in line with review guidelines although no swear word was used.

  And, as the article explains, Amazon is overlooking that so they are complicit in this deception.

  I have their 400W windmills that produce 100W. Don't, just don't buy it.
