Maybe we should build an independent, decentralized review page, where you can trust (PGP style) your friends and family and they can do so too.
When suspicious reviews appear, everybody can track down the accounts which abuse our trust (and let the bots in). That way we could provide blacklists for accounts that are untrustworthy and everybody can decide who (or which blacklist) he wants to trust.
- ttoinou 8y agoThis. I always have thought of something like this. Only trust person your know IRL and friends of friends... That way we could compute a "trustworthy" coefficients. Needs a good business model though
- CydeWeys 8y agoI love this idea. I don't see it being implemented because I don't think it's in Amazon's best interests, but I'd love to see someone do it. Goodreads does something similar, at least out to the first degree. When you're looking at a book, it shows all of your friends' reviews (if any) before all of the reviews by randoms. It's really useful because there's some of my friends whose opinions I really trust, and who I know have similar tastes. Goodreads is owned by Amazon now, it's worth pointing out.
