Likely easy to game.
And hard. I wear cufflinks. Half the good ones you can buy are artisan stuff built on aliexpress basics, and very difficult to distinguish from boring artless stuff build on the same basics. You can tell by looking, but difficult for software or for a bureaucracy. I imagine there are many categories like that.
- nevertoolate 10y agoI think parent commenter talks about crowdsourcing labeling, not software.
- Arnt 10y agoYes, and when the median number of labelings for a given article is near zero (as it will be for handmade artisanal articles), it's very easy to spam in a few five-stars. The crowd you want isn't the crowd you get. So you have to filter or supplement the user ratings/labelings/reviews using either software or inhouse people, which runs into the second problem I mentioned.
- cat199 10y agoEbay seems to do okay with their buyer/seller ratings..
- Arnt 10y agoYes. And so could etsy for rating buyers and sellers. You can't spam easily if you have to spend money to do it. But the grandparent suggested crowdsourcing saleable articles, for the kind of articles that are meant to be (simplifying) handmade.
