Admittedly this is more of a Sla... I mean Soyvertisement. However, I just heard about it this weekend, and it sounds both interesting and useful. I thought others might find it interesting as well
Long story short: ReviewMeta is a website which can be used to try to detect fake reviews on Amazon.
In my defense, it is somewhat technologically interesting. The system supposedly uses various heuristics and algorithms in order to accomplish this, such as searching for suspicious submission patterns, text entered, and timing windows to try to find fakes.
The "news" source I heard it from was a radio/podcast at: https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=623988370

That's how I shop. I sort reviews from worst to best and read through them. A 5 star works great review is completely worthless compared to the one star containing a detailed rant about what exactly broke and why/how.

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people; the smallest discuss themselves
