Google does this as a whole, IME. A body shop did a really shoddy repair and when I went to check my review later, it was gone. I don't understand why; it shows when I'm logged into the original Google account, but not otherwise.
- cbozeman 5y agoI guess that body shop bought the correct amount of Google AdWords.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoThere was a data-center that recently sent out an alert for a rather amusing sort of non service impacting issue but something that you'd want to warn anyone who'd need to visit about. I decided to leave a 5-star review that said they were great except for a comically worded reference to the issue and included a screenshot of the issue notification. Same story, only shows up when I'm logged in. I assume I used some key word that their AI didn't like.
- jrockway 5y agoThat's just all online reviews. I have never trusted them since I did a review of some LED light bulbs on Amazon. They were green and buzzed. I gave them one star, talked about the color rendering problems, and uploaded a screenshot of my spectrophotometer readout so that you could see just how green they were. Amazon sent me an email saying that didn't meet their community guidelines. Meanwhile, a bunch of 5 star reviews from similar sounding misspelled common names remain up! My takeaway is that I've minimized my interactions with Amazon's fake reviews. I don't trust them, and if I need something "for real" (not on a whim), I just go to a reputable vendor instead of "Aliexpress but with 100% markup". (The reputable vendor still marks things up by 100%, of course, but at least they're not Amazon.)
