How do these analyzers determine if a review is fake?
Comment on Firefox will have a built-in ‘fake reviews detector’ — Amazon is in trouble
DigitalPaperTrail@kbin.social 11 months agoI've gotten into the habit of never buying anything from Amazon before first running it through a review analyzer. I used to use reviewmeta, but that stopped being maintained, so I switched over to fakespot.
it increases the hassle and amount of time to make a decision, but I've run into too many situations like yours. And it's enlightening how many products get fail or bad ratings after being analyzed. I've just started ignoring a lot of things with more than 10k-ish reviews

It’s some ML/AI thing that analyzes the review content.
I honestly have no idea how accurate it is either.

to add to this, it does that to check for patterns it already knows in the reviews itself, but also goes into each account that submitted a review and checks their account history as well for recognized patterns

FTFY. I don’t even have an account there.

I only use it for 2 dollar Amazon prime video + gaming sub that I got when Apple App Store glitched.
