No, they shouldn't.
First, it's a hobby, not a job. Second, my reviews are not meant to 'sell' things to people but to help them better decide for themselves, as in making better informed decisions.
You are ranked high at Amazon not for 'selling' things but because those who read your reviews vote them 'helpful'. Yes, there are companies who try to 'buy' reviews and otfits that 'sell' them and, believe it or not, there are reviewers who try to buy 'helpful' votes and outfits that sell votes. Amazon is cracking down on all of the above the best they can but it's a never-ending struggle.
