The product review section is not officially abandoned, but it has not been actively managed by the Support desk in quite some time.  There is a list of reviews pending approval (moderation is required) and no one is currently assigned to review them.  I don't expect that to change in the near future.

It is best to make your recommendations in blog posts.

I would write a blog post about it - and put PRODUCT REVIEW in the title!

It has been quite some time since "product review" has been active. You may have to resort to just a post.

You have the official response from ARMS.  If you have something wonderful to say about a company or product, I suggest doing so in a blog post.

I was thinking what ActiveRain Member Support said in their comment and I am glad that they clarified.

I don't think the Product Review is working. See what ARMS has to say!

I've done them in posts & other agents have found my thoughts. They also commented on the product/service.

I knew ARMs would have you covered. I recommend writing a post about the product.

Many gurus give video product reviews on YouTube. 
They include an affiliate link so that readers can click to buy the product and the reviewer gets an affiliate referral fee from the vendor.
If you have many YouTube followers, you can earn a nice passive income from affiliate links.

Under FTC rules, you must clearly disclose that you receive a fee for sales made by using your affiliate links.

YouTube videos can boost your blog SEO and include backlinks to your blog.

Stick with products related to your industry.

I posted to it a long time ago Dennis Neal but I thought it was abandoned these days. It appears that it is in a catatonic state but not dead.
