Is it also "rigged" if a 3rd party can buy the top spot?
Is the grocery store rigged if they put their house brand on the endcap? Is it different if a 3rd party buys endcap placement?
I expect Amazon to order their search results in a way to maximize their bottom line, i.e. the likelihood of making a sale AND the profit from that sale.
If I change the sort order from "featured" to "avg customer review", Amazon batteries drop down to #26.
