If FakeSpot can detect fakes Amazon should be able to do it even better. The fact that FakeSpot even exists shows that Amazon has decided that they've won the online retail competition and there's no need to spend any more resources on improving it.
- TheOtherHobbes 11y agoDoes FakeSpot exist? The progress bar hangs whatever product I try it on. Meanwhile the "Recommended with honest reviews" products have acquired some one star reviews of their own. Useful or not? No idea. Doesn't look like it so far. But this is probably an unsolvable problem. You could solve it by hiring and paying 100% independent mystery shopper reviewers with unimpeachable integrity, and only reviewing products actually purchased for real money. I don't think many online merchants would support that. This is a fundamental problem with scarcity transactions - it's always more profitable to game the system than to play honestly.
