Furthermore, I don't see the point in Fakespot since Amazon bends over backwards to accept returns for any reason.

Why go through that hassle if you can avoid it in the first place?

Because I'm buying the $8 option from a company called "XYBENOZ". Without reading the reviews I already know there's a 56% chance of failure, but I'm willing to take that risk because then it's Amazon's problem.
