Are businesses’ reviews always real or some businesses buy reviews?
There is review manipulation, it has always been and it will always be. The fact that I know and I’m aware that people pay people to write reviews about their business, works and app online can never make me genuinely trust online reviews. Also, in college I worked part time for a place that gives employees $50 cash for 5 star reviews that mention them. So, I really don’t trust reviews.
Businesses really do themselves a lot of evil when they buy fake reviews, in a way, people always end up finding out and that’s bad for business. I’ve written a few reviews myself on companies that I’ve had some sort of relationship with. Some of them were great and others were bad reviews. I think it’s stupid to write fake reviews because in the end, your customers will know.
