Product reviews help common people lookup and see what are advantages and short comings of the product. But i have seen quite a lot of them biased. One such example being movie reviews, its alll hyped and tampered with. Be it movies or products/services, that kind of trust and credibility is need of the hour. There is no guarantee to see and find out if its being rigged. So a better model will be to allow reviews with good and bad points. Allow users to speak up with proof if good features are indeed hyped or to provide a proof which shows its indeed bad feature. As proper proofs come into play, there may be clearcut credibility in the process
- andybourassa 20y agoThis is what our site(revvu) is aiming to do. Much like reddit, users are afforded the opportunity to vote reviews up or down, giving more useful reviews more weight and reviews of less value a smaller amount of weight. Eventually users will build karma and legitimize their opinion throughout the community.
- mukund 20y agoWhat will happen if people form a cartel and hike up or lower karma? How do u plan to take care of this mischief?
- mauricecheeks 20y agoSimply not displaying who rated you up or down (just like on here) is the first step towards that. That is definitely something that has been a consideration since day one though. Epinioins was widely disqualified as a reputable source because people formed such "cartels" to take advantage of their paid review model.
