I was asked to pen an Amazon user review, with the promise of a $10 Amazon GC. Big bucks, I know!

Title: MiniTool . . . Maximum Impact
Experience: Elegant. This finely crafted piece of software does what it promises to do with minimal fuss. You know what's not so elegant? The imperious demand of this sad little box that my review must be at least 100 characters. One Hundred Characters . . . sounds like a Key & Peele marathon, no?

Anyway, MiniTool simply does the job it promises to do.

^^^ My first attempt was auto-deemed too short. So, I self-referentially lengthened it with the bolded. They were not amused.

Thank you for your email. I would like to let you know that your review will not pass our QA process. It won't pass our QA process because of the sentence "You know what's not so elegant? The imperious demand of this sad little box that my review must be at least 100 characters. One Hundred Characters . . . sounds like a Key & Peele marathon, no?" This sentence is not about the software and used to meet our minimum character requirement which is against our guidelines. If you would like to make any changes to your review please reply with the exact changes you would like to make. I will make those changes right away.

I declined:

No, Christopher, I will not be eviscerating my review in order to acquiesce to your guidelines, but thank you for asking. Please don't contact me further on this very important (to you) issue.

I simply will not kowtow to directives I don't respect for a measly $10.

$11 maybe, but not $10. ;)
