Comment on LegalEagle Suing PayPal's Honey
faultyproboscus@sh.itjust.works 4 days agoTrustpilot tries to weed out fake reviews. A huge influx of reviews all at once looks like fake reviews. And, to be fair, I imagine a chunk of those reviews are “fake” in that the reviewers never used the app. It’s easier for Trustpilot to cut off new reviews for the time being than to deal with evaluating all these new reviews.

Wouldn’t you expect a large influx of negative reviews when news breaks of this story?
As I said I don’t trust Trust Pilot, but this really doesn’t help their cause.

Sure, and I’d expect a lot of those to be from users who don’t use Honey, but are outraged by the news.
If they were going to leave a legitimate negative review, they would have done so before the news broke.

I don’t think they would know about the issue until the news broke. The average user would assume it is doing what it said, and the content creators were non the wiser either.

Sure, but I hope you can see the potential for knee-jerk reactions polluting otherwise relevant reviews, no?
