Happened to me when I saw a book on the US site, I wasn't able to see all reviews, but there was a button to sort-of "apply" to get approved for seeing all of them.

It took five days, then I got this email.

Interestingly, they're not doing this on the European site, you can still see all reviews there.

Where did you see that system? Because I went to the page and didn't see anything like that.

there's no apply button and it seems all reviews are there

Since it's a content rating review system, I almost wonder if Amazon has internally marked your account as a minor or something like that, so they're hiding explicit reviews or something.

    I don't see it anymore either. Might be they're testing out this feature and not all users get to see it.

    yea i wonder if that's the case.

    There are a few laws regarding fake reviews and review suppression in the states as well. So I'm almost wondering if it was the classic case of they started implementing something and then legal was like, yo, cut that shit out. That's not allowed.

    But I still feel like it might be something to do with the push for removing explicit content from minors that every platform seems to be doing.
