- ocdtrekkie 6y agoThis is actually pretty neat. I'll probably try it "in production" next time I'm looking at an off-brand gadget. It took me a minute to figure out where it was, but the Report Card area does a neat job showing you what reasons they dropped some reviews. Not all of them suggest malicious intent, but there's some good criteria there. For instance, it trusts "easy graders" less, as well as "brand loyalists" who review a lot of products from the same company. Both scenarios aren't exactly harmful, but can reflect higher-than-fair review scores.
- smusamashah 6y agoI find it amazing that it goes through reviewers e.g. it told me that this reviewer has used a particular line ("comes with a brush") 6 times in reviews.
- ocdtrekkie 6y agoYeah, it's a little hard to find your own review profile (I had to find an item I reviewed that wasn't heavily reviewed, than search the list for myself), but when I found my own review profile, I could see that ReviewMeta decided I was 79% trustworthy. ...I haven't reviewed a lot of things over the years, but it's a long-lived account and I think their judgment is probably pretty fair there?
