That would have made it immediately untrustworthy to me.
But seriously: this is a lucrative strategy now: marketing only by social media, relying on the poor critical thinking skills evident in most avid consumers of social media.
A great example is a new Facebook campaign by a company calling itself "Javapresse", saying their coffee in the "top 1%" of worldwide coffee and selling their beans for what turns out to be (if you do the actual math) for $24/lb. for blends of unstated origin. Their site has ~200 "reviews", every single one is "five stars", which somebody called them out on eventually. The founder even claimed to be "good friends" with Alfred Peet, who's been out of the industry for 30 years and dead for over a decade.
