I am always starting from bad reviews. Ironically, very often they are the source of the information which makes me buy a product immediately.
E.g. if the book author is "arrogant", or most product problems are coming from hysterical idiots with none of them due to the manufacturer.
- ikeboy 8y agoYes, I've heard this recommended as a strategy for sellers - leave yourself negative reviews that are clearly not issues with the product.
- juskrey 8y agoI believe this is pretty hard to fake realistically, plus it goes with the necessity of significantly lowering your own product score, so..
- ikeboy 8y agoDoesn't have to be significant, and it can be done by upvoting those reviews so they rise to the top without leaving any reviews yourself (and I've heard people talk about using this specific tactic). Conversely, I've heard people complaining their competition left negative reviews and/or upvoted their bad reviews to the top.
- ikeboy 8y agoPersonally, I look for history - if something's been around for at least 1-2 years I figure true negative reviews would have surfaced. So look at dates of oldest reviews.
