"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." Amazon reviews are just another metric. If you do not have personal accountability, the measure will always be gamed. The reason that reddit is the only place on the internet where you can get general purpose recommendations, is because it relies on the personal accountability of the users giving feedback have between each other. As the subreddit gets to large, this is lost. Treasure small communities. There is no way to improve the system. The more you improve the metric, the more the metric is gamed. Stop relying on metrics.
