While I had good experience with the products, I was shocked when I learned that the reviews on their website might be dishonest. After I submitted a detailed review they have contacted me to say that my review could not be published due to FDA regulations - I am not allowed to make any health claims. While it sounds insane that I am not allowed to share my experience with something being genuinely helpful for my health, I don’t live in USA so I don’t know how things work. So if you tell me you can’t publish it, I say “ok, fair enough”. What is not ok though is that they rewrote my review beyond recognition. Not only it changed the context, it even changed my entire persona! They proposed that I resubmit the review by copy pasting their version and offered me rewards for doing so. Reading the proposed review made me feel sick in my stomach because not a single word there was my own (they changed every sentence irrespective of whether it made any claims or not). They changed the structure, tone, how I describe myself as well as what I thought of the product. Excuse me? They changed things that didn’t need changing. It just looks like they fed my review to AI and asked it to rewrite it. Basically how many people get these emails and end up copy pasting the “improved version” to get more rewards? Isn’t that equivalent of company writing their own reviews? And what world do we live in if we are not allowed to say we are legally disabled because the correct term is “I am facing challenges”?
