I've posted a similar comment before, but on what basis do you trust fakespot? If they were being paid to promote or even outright manipulate the analysis how would we know? Or how would they be immune to the same review manipulation by sellers that Amazon is prone to? Why do you think we don't need a fakespot for fakespot too?
- xeromal 5y agoFakespot shows reviews it thinks are dubious and you can take a look and decide if it's right. Some are pretty blatant.
- kongolongo 5y agoIdk is that very useful? There will dubious reviews on any popular product. Isn't the true utility in fakespot that it makes a decision on the credibility of the overall rating of the product for you based on some aggregation of the total reviews? That's what I'm questioning whether or not can be manipulated or tammpered with, in which case we'd be back at the same problem fakespot tries to solve requiring a fakespot for fakespot reviews
