Phony product reviews

[Craig234]

I dislike the idea of false product reviews, to promote products. We know it happens; we know they are a service that would be tempting for sellers.

Unfortunately, they're often - usually - almost always - hard to prove or to punish.

What's your verdict on this example - I vote likely 100% false reviews. Note how each is 100% positive and hits on a 'marketing note' the company would like (three pages of reviews):

I'm not enabling all those scripts to find reviews of a stupid product. $30/year to enable carelessness. Their (cr)app probably spies on you too.

I misplace things. It is carelessness, not being organized. But right now I'm sacrificing organization for head-long effort to get a big home repair project done before it rains. So, things are not where they belong. Slapping a finder on some things isn't going to solve much. Having presence of mind is a much better idea.

Those aren't reviews. They are more like customer feedback. If I were running a website for my products, I'd probably cherry-pick the reviews. I'm not saying that these are fake or that these are cherry-picked. As for the product itself, there are plenty that do similar things. My advise is to skip them if you're thinking about buying one for your keys/wallets. Use a key box and leave everything in it or close to it.

Interesting site.

And that's for Amazon, not even the home page I linked.
