Troll cleanup, aisle 5.

Got a few minutes? Make life a little more complicated for some misogyist trolls on Amazon, targeting HRC's book.

1. Go to her book page on the link below.
2. Scroll down to the bottom and select Five Star Reviews.
3. Under each review (give it a "helpful" click if it was helpful) you will see a "comments" link. Click on it.
4. You will see posts from trolls (patriot MAGA, MAGA, and XX are three of the most prolific) - click Report abuse.
5. You can type the issue, "Troll spamming his youtube channel" or Troll spamming all positive comments" or "harmful, insensitive" (an actual reason for Amazon to delete a comment) as appropriate.
6. Continue through the positive posts, doing the same.

I clicked through 10 plus pages of 1 star, obnoxious comments, looking for "Verified Purchases". Not a single one. I did report abuse, though, on several of them. I also went through and clicked helpful on some of the 5 star reviews. I would have done more but didn't want to look like I was trolling. Lol.

all of the trollery which will get you to reviews by verified purchasers of her book, much different territory.
