How do you vet my published opinion? If I order something from Amazon and give it a five star review, how do you, or Amazon know that the opinion I'm submitting in my review is genuine or not? You can't even vet my criteria at the point of review.
I think that is a key point here. We have started to trust aggregate "opinions" as a source of truth, assuming high numbers will obviate any tampering, assuming tampering could not be done at scale.... Something that just doesn't exist for most things on Amazon.

There is zero consequences now for getting paid, bribed, etc for writing fake reviews and little by little helping to destroy the Internet. There are laws about pollution... why not have laws against polluting the Internet with bribery/racketeering junk that is detrimental to the health of the Internet?
