It's unhelpful spam content, so it's not likely to live forever or get many views without getting flagged. Users report such content because it's annoying and provides no value.
You could maybe get away with buying the product, record it being unboxed or used, then add AI voice over. But if it's just slideshow spam, YouTube have been dealing with this type of content for close to a decade.
It's usually not super effective anymore either, slideshow spam gets very low CTR. Also, if you direct link / short link to Amazon without linking to a website first, there's a chance of Amazon banning you from their affiliate programme if they see where the traffic is coming from.
I'm not saying slideshow spam is completely dead, I'm sure there's a few people with automated software and 1000s of accounts moderately killing it. But if you don't know how to scale or limit bans on YT, even if you learn how to scale, Amazon might ban you anyway. It's a lot of work for little return and high risk of bans.
