Wow, that is dramatically different than what the headline suggests. The "20% are fake" headline implies "20% of visible reviews", but instead I'm hearing you say, "20% of reviews are killfiled before visibility."
- unclebucknasty 13y agoThat's exactly my read. And, it's not just the headline. Consider the following: >A Yelp spokeswoman says its software helps filter many fakes before most users get to read them. When combined with the headline, that really makes it sound like two discrete groups: the fake 20% that make it to Yelp, vs. the "many" that are filtered before making it to Yelp. The difference is so vast that the headline now feels like link-bait.
