It's a funny article highlighting a cute hole in TripAdvisor's ranking system. TripAdvisor isn't being vile our misleading when they say they don't try to catch fictitious restaurants.There were no real, negative reviews of the restaurant, so it remained a perfect five with all very plausibly real reviews.
What they should worry about is detecting fake positive and negative reviews of real restaurants, which can cause businesses and diners a lot of pain and diminish the value of TripAdvisor.
Kudos to the author for "hacking" the ranking system in an unexpected way!
I wonder if they caught any fake negative reviews of the shed, jealous of its #1 spot...
