Of course, there's also a risk of fake negative reviews, from competitors.
- justworkout 3y agoThat's something I've definitely worried about and seen some people mention in reviews around India. I mostly try to identify the voice of the comment writer. If they're from America but talking in odd English with a 10/10 review, I doubt it's real. Same if it's 1/10 from America and written with strange grammar.

If it gets bad enough people will just stop giving them any weight at all, or even treat a lot of good reviews that are well written as suspicious. Then we will find some other way to find out quality of goods and services which will then be gamed at a greater and greater level until that too becomes unusable.
