What I like to do is just not buy stuff

#5US-based but I've been bribed multiple times to get a gift card in exchange for changing my review to 5 stars. Usually I change the review, take the gift card, and then change it back to fewer stars indicating that seller bribed me.
It's the only way I can think of that actually financially discourages the practice.

#6This happens to me (here in California) regularly.
When this happens I leave a review saying so, either on the product itself or on the seller's page.
Amazon always deletes these reviews. So, Amazon knows about the practice, and approves of it. Not much you can do at that point.

Cause you keep buying. Or rather, because you haven’t canceled your Prime yet. Do it now.

Consumer reports is ok but I’ve found it’s better for the I’m lookin for “any” car in x segment type person. If you research your purchases deeper than the average person it’s not worth it IMHO.
I agree for average buyers it’s better than anything else. Especially for the uniformed.
