Fakespot is pure trash. That thing doesn't work at all. According to Fakespot everything in Amazon is fake. Even small legitimate third-party sellers get bad ratings from Fakespot. But that's not even the worst part. I have found dubious listings where Fakespot didn't detect anything and gave them a semi-decent rating when it's obvious that the reviews were manipulated just by looking at them. If you want to understand a product reliability is pretty simple. Just browse the 1 and 2 star reviews. You can find a lot of valuable information about the products in those reviews. If you still want to use something to evaluate the reviews use Reviewmeta. It's much better and transparent than Fakespot.

  And probably half or more that’s on the Internet is fake too especially if it revolves around making money. I’ve told my older parent not to buy a product or use a svc based on Internet reviews.. go with personal recommendations only!

>According to Fakespot everything in Amazon is fake. I really don't know how good or bad fakespot is, but I get a roughly uniform distribution - it's not at all rare for me to see an A or B, and I'm pretty sure I don't see more F's than those.
