good to know
The government cracks down on illegal fake product and service reviews, but does nothing about fake political commentary like the stolen election lie which is destroying our democratic institutions.
Amazon
Thanks, for the info on the review aggregate AIs. Thanks.🤗
I personally am more worried about our open borders and illegals taking advantage of us or doing much worse and our constitutional right to openly carry being stomped on then some bad restaurant review. I mean 911 happened because we let an arab in here w/o vetting him. Trump 2024
Not enough words and too many emojis
(please give this comment 1000 up-votes) 😉Lets test the theory.

It ain't hard. Ignore the 5 and 1 stars. It's the 2-4 star reviews that are good.
You can't believe anything or anyone anymore and that goes for everything from reviews to politicians and social media and news as well as comments like these online. It's sad, but you always need your B.S. protectors up as my dad used to say….
Have you heard? That's Amazon's FAVOR product FIVE STARS Always: FAKE REVIEW. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
ONLY FAKE PEOPLE DO THIS KIND OF GARBAGE …JUST TO GET LIKES!!!
Same goes for everytime when you see a youtuber and ig people giving out some links and ask you to "sign up and make purchase" using their special promo codes. Never use those codes because they are profitting off your purchase.
And watch our for reviews that look like they are professionally written that reads like a script to a commercial. Look at the timestamp of any reviews, if you see many that written within a couple minutes of another that could be a red flag
Or they must be little kids in internet
Breaking News: Most stuff is fake on the internet.
I will be using that AI tool to weed out the fake reviews before I purchase in the future. Good tip.
I actually get paid to post fake reviews .
I just don't order online. I get up and go to the store. I'm not even giving them a chance.
I've learned to Google online websites before making a purchase.
I usually tend to gravitate towards well known brands if I'm unsure. Chances are, brands like Samsung, Zippo, Levi's, Seiko, Weber, etc, are going to have a guaranteed level of quality. Just look at the specs to see if it's what you're looking for and ignore the reviews altogether.
I do almost all of my purchases based on those reviews! No more! Thank you NBC!
Ohhhh Miss Mikayla Nogueira 👀😏
I don't even bother to look at reviews. So many have friends leave good ones or bots yet there services are terrible. One for a auto shop near me had great reviews, omg they left a bolt loose on a battery it was arcing could have caught on fire…
Wouldn’t it be great if internet companies filtered out fake reviews and the government charged fake reviewers with fraud.

When I see reviews for Lucid and Aptera I see right through the rampant manipulation to attract investors.
If it's on Amazon it has fake reviews. Period.
these days everything is fake, no matter what review they get
i’m dubious when i see an everyday product has 5,000, 10,000, 15,000 reviews. red flag!
