reviews have to be the least coherent part of any ux at this point

1. you can’t verify authenticity

no one really knows how legit the contents and motives of reviews are anymore

i’m bullish on world for this reason: you can of course verify they’re written by humans. you could also theoretically have better visibility into the flow of capital to and from accounts (wallets), which could be used to check authenticity claims from influencers

2. you don’t see range

everything’s roughly a 4.5 now. if everything’s great, nothing is. effectively nullifies the value of reviews as a consumer navigation tool

we need to have higher standards and call out when something is subpar or average

i turn product vision into cultural signal

does World really solve it though? i see this claim mentioned all the time, but never examined. what’s stopping me from paying World users to do some inauth actions? i’d argue World might even facilitate this by creating an authenticated user index ;)

sweetness in clumsy efforts

i think that’s why we need visibility to wallets too: who pays the influencer and why

agree that proof of personhood alone doesn’t do much

easy to pay on another wallet too of course
