Regular media coverage about how authentic and accurate review sites and platforms are. It’s well known that many companies “game” the system with a mass of fake (positive) reviews. One very high profile UK review platform is also not what it seems: they allow their website customers to pay for a ‘premium’ service which means they have the facility to manipulate ratings by removing any low ones including negative reviews.
