What's important to know about Booking.com review scores is that customers do not choose the scores, per se. They ask you a series of questions like "was the bed comfortable?" and if you say "yes" to all of them, th

YouTube and TikTok pay people who have popular videos, which gives "creators" an incentive to put a lot of work into what they do. You can argue that the payouts are a pittance for the large number of views those YouTubers get, bu

Amazon makes it very hard to flag listings that have this problem and they often take no action when you do report it. I recently complained to Amazon about some flagrantly irrelevant 5-star reviews on wireless headphones that were actually
