Producers will benefit more by this project, the evaluation of the people may uses as a basis of the company to improve their goods and services. However, what if there are people that paid by the company to support their products or to make a beautiful reflection to their products?
The underlined is one of my concern about the project too. We all know that reviews can be bought, or anyone can create a fake review towards an items, may it be positive or negative comment. Some company hire shills to boast their reviews while others hire them to put negative review to the competitors product. I have been buying stuff online and this kind of strategy is rampant. So the question is, how can you solve this kind of cheating?
I hope that this project aims to provide a fair reviews and remove the paid shillers.
I believe this will be the challenge to the developers of the platform and I am so interested to know their precautionary measure about this stuff. Aside from that, how would they actually solve this kind of thing to prevent viewers to be mislead by this fake reviews. Project Dev?Any input about this issue?
Still the review is done by a person.. anyone can review it on Blockchain, so the question remains unanswered. I can state a scenario where a shill review can be mistakenly take as a legit. A person can be paid to buy a product then put a review on the blockchain, either way, whatever the product is.. definitely the review will favor the one who paid the buyer.
I think that Lina.review will take its time to gain the approval and the trust of many. It has a good purpose but people still can easily manipulate its contents but sooner or later I think Devs would be able to come up with at least something to back up a review's credibility. Time will soon tell. Nevertheless, I think it would best to see what's yet to happen.
There are actually a lot of issues that Lina.review answers. First and foremost is the transparency of the review source as it uses blockchain technology. Secondly the qualification of Reviewers or helpers themselves being filtered or qualified. Third is putting standards on review not limiting it to the traditional grading of 1-10. Lina.review is a pioneer in this and there are a lot of room for improvement. Again attempts on discrediting Lina.review may be done however, helpers as the source of qualified reviews may loose their job as helpers if found guilty of manipulating reviews. I do believe this may also apply to Merchants. In worst case scenario an investigation can be done using blockchain to pinpoint the source of fraudulent or biased review. Lina may need to have their quality assurance team or an audit team of sorts. Looking forwards still for Lina.review's success.
