The language used doesn't feel right and part of the time they talk about an unrelated product. Too many times I am not totally sure the product is legit and I then look elsewhere.

> the FTC plans to slap businesses that "buy, sell and manipulate online reviews" up to $50,000. Not only is that fine for each phony review, it's also for every time a consumer sees it

I wouldn't give #citysprint 1 star. #Fakereviews #fake

With five-star reviews that won't allow
For a way to tell
If the review is 'real'
For third-parties profit somehow

183 followers · 4338 posts · Server freeradical.zoneThese days top ranking search results have a high proportion of fake reviews. Robots are producing junk sites faster than search engines can filter them out. But shouldn’t it be trivially easy to filter out fake reviews? Just look for links to #Amazon store & down-rank the article. #askFedi #fakeReviews

Well, that really surprises me since literally EVERY product you look at has hundreds of 5 star reviews regardless of of its quality or value. Funny that.
