At one point in the future … bots will be buying cheap products and reviewing it with glowing reviews and recommendations to other bots who will also buy them and repeat.
Future space faring civilizations will wonder why this planet is filled with automated machines, digital systems that are all manufacturing, purchasing, commenting how great these products are no matter how useless they are, then disposing the products and endlessly repeating the cycle.
They will also wonder who the original inhabitants of this planet were and why they built such a strange system.
Remember when the FCC used fake comments to justify their attacks against net neutrality?
I do.
Yrs ago this would have (foolishly) increased my trust in the companies, but I’ve long since learned that companies building a “coalition” doesn’t mean squat unless it’s actually utilized to create positive change.
For years they profit off fake reviews. The government finally starts to notice and all of a sudden the corporations give a shit? Riiiiight.
It must be hurting their bottom line.
Or they just want certain reviews to be removed by claiming they are fake.
No reason to expect that th reason is to benefit their customers.
I thought fake reviews were already illegal?
