Review Platfroms Suck!
Review platforms are plagued with issues in just one year:
TrustPilot removed 2.7 million fake reviews.
Google removed 95 million reviews.
TripAdvisor identified 936,000 fake reviews.
Amazon blocked 200 million fake reviews.
And it doesn't stop with these companies; platforms like Yelp and many others face similar problems. The reason is simple: they don't have a foolproof solution to block these attackers. Methods like checking a box to verify a review or requiring a receipt photo are easily bypassed and manipulated, leading to high numbers of fake reviews.

Key Issues with Current Review Platforms:
Inaccurate Reviews: Many platforms are inundated with fake reviews, often written by business owners or paid individuals, making it hard for users to get an accurate picture of the service.
Bias: Some platforms are biased towards certain businesses due to advertising relationships or other factors, preventing users from getting an impartial assessment.
Lack of Trust: The prevalence of fake and biased reviews erodes user trust, leading to frustration and disillusionment with the review process.
Outdated Information: Businesses and their services can change quickly, but traditional review platforms may not update information in a timely manner, leading to outdated and misleading reviews.
Lack of Incentive: Users often have no compelling reason to leave detailed, accurate reviews, resulting in a scarcity of information and a limited pool of reliable reviews.
