I was flagged by FakeSpot for a "phony review," (or however they worded it). So, as far as I'm concerned, good riddance. AI bots are clueless, in my opinion. Garbage in, garbage out.
My experience with FakeSpot were the opposite. It flagged multiple reviews of an item on Amazon as being probably false and looking at 14 5 star reviews posted over 6 hours, I tended to agree. Oddly, the only sites it seems work on were ecommerce sites. I was just looking at the FakeSpot FAQs and Reddit was not listed as a site it worked with. Amazon, Best Buy, eBay, Sephora, Walmart and Shopify were listed. Reddit was not. Discord was not. SubStack was not.
